Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 24 p. We developed an empirical model describing the probability that forests and farmland in western Oregon and western Washington were developed for resident...

Remote sensing and GIS have been widely employed to study temporal and spatial urban land use changes in southern and southeastern China. However, few studies have been conducted in northeastern regions. This study analyzed land use change and spatial patterns of urban expansion in the metropolitan area of Jilin City, located on the extension of Changbai Mountain, based on aerial photos from 19...

Forest owners in Massachusetts (U.S.) live in a densely populated state and near forestland that is under pressure of development and characterized by small parcel size. Forest-based biomass harvesting in Massachusetts is a renewable energy topic generating a great deal of discussion among all constituents. To provide perspective on these discussions, our analysis asks how much forested land in...

Sacramento County s 6 million trees store 8 mllllon tons of C O (31 t;ha). and annually sequester 238.000 t ( 0 92 tbhai Ar-condltionlng (157 GWh) and space-heating (145 TJ) savings from the urban forest further reduce emisslons by 75 600 t of CO annually (0 29 t:ha). These avolded emisslons are only 32"0 of the amount sequestered. due to a clean. hydroelectric energy supply. Annual COrelease a...

During the lockdown period, oxidative potential of PM decreased in a traffic site but not an urban due to sustained contributions from residential heating emissions. Random forest modelling is useful predicting business-as-usual levels for air quality studies.

decreasing qualitative aspects of residential environments is a real problem in recent public housing of kerman. this article is concentrated on surveying the impact of in-between spaces on residential environments quality (req), to evaluate different kinds of it and to determine interrelation of two main components: residents individual characteristics and characteristics of in-between spaces....

recently, increased growth of the population and insufficiency of infrastructures have expedited vertical development of cities, with the outcome of which being residence in such high-rise  complexes and creation of spiritless, dull masses which lack the prerequisites of making a permanent relationship with their residents, provoke high-level alienations, and dilute one’s attachment to his/her ...
