As the interface between marine and land environments, coasts have diverse and ever increasing conflicting pressures and demands requiring effective administration and management which is underpinned by the need for access to spatial information. Spatial data is recognised as a critical resource to underpin effective and sustainable management and administration. Spatial Data Infrastructures (S...

This study provides a spatially comprehensive assessment of sustainable agricultural residue removal potential across the United States for bioenergy production. Earlier assessments determining the quantity of agricultural residue that could be sustainably removed for bioenergy production at the regional and national scale faced a number of computational limitations. These limitations included ...

1 Community forests (CFs) in northern Burma have been gaining momentum since the mid-2000s, spearheaded by national NGOs, mostly in response to protect village land from encroaching agribusiness concessions. While the production of these new CF landscapes represents the material resistance against state-sponsored rubber, in effect it produces contested state authority by formalizing control of ...

the aim of this study was to assess the conversion of forest to vineyard on different physical pools of organic matter in zrebar lake watershed. soil samples were collected from the two major land use types including forest and vineyard land at 0-30; 30-60, and 60-90-cm depths. in each land use, different soc fractions were measured. according to the results of size fractionation of organic car...

BACKGROUND Carbon storage potential has become an important consideration for land management and planning in the United States. The ability to assess ecosystem carbon balance can help land managers understand the benefits and tradeoffs between different management strategies. This paper demonstrates an application of the Land Use and Carbon Scenario Simulator (LUCAS) model developed for local-...

Perturbation and matched asymptotic expansion methods are shown to be useful to the study of land economics. In the context of residential land management theory, the present study complements a previous analysis of locational equilibrium economic models for residential land in Wan [1977] and extends it beyond absentee ownership to include public ownership and mixed ownership. The dependence of...

Land suitability analysis, commonly known as land evaluation, is considered an interface between land resourcesurvey and land use planning and management. Land evaluation be carried out to estimate the suitability of land fora specific use such as arable farming or irrigated agriculture. There are several established techniques for generatingland suitability evaluation. This research was carrie...

Surface waters are the most important economic resource for humans which provide water for agricultural, industrial and anthropogenic activities. Surface water quality plays vital role in protecting aquatic ecosystems. Unplanned urbanization, intense agricultural activities and deforestation are positively associated with carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous related water quality parameters. Multip...
