Spatial analysis of insect counts provides important information about how insect species respond to the heterogeneity of a given sampling space. Contour mapping is widely used to visualize spatial pest distribution patterns in anthropogenic environments, and in this study we outlined recommendations regarding semivariogram analysis of small data sets (N < 50). Second, we examined how contour m...

elm (ulmus glabra hudson) is one of the most valuable species which distribute all over the caspian forests. nowadays, elm is considered an endangered species due to intensive human activities and outbreak of dutch elm disease over the last few decades. to suitable management of elm, there is need to have indices which describe; current structure and its changes across the time. this study besi...

this paper presents a survey on soil pb concentration around sepahanshahr town located in vicinity of isfahan. due to the lack of regulation and environmental education and awareness, sepahanshahr is now a rapid growing residential area suffering from the considerable consequences of poorly regulated mining activities operating in its vicinity. the aim of this study is to explore the spatial st...

Geocomputation provides solutions to complex geographic problems. Continuous and discrete spatial data are involved in the geocomputational process; however, geocomputational methods for discrete spatial data cannot be directly applied to continuous or mixed spatial data. Therefore, discretization methods for continuous or mixed spatial data are involved in the process. Since spatial data has s...
