Phenology response to climatic variables is a vital indicator for understanding changes in biosphere processes as related to possible climate change. We investigated global phenology relationships to precipitation and land surface temperature (LST) at high spatial and temporal resolution for calendar years 2008–2011. We used cross-correlation between MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), MODIS...

extended abstract introduction school of modernism started between 1920 until 1930 in both sides of atlantic ocean. however, one can see its signs in the first movements in planning about the garden city ideas. the idea of modernism happened at the same time in architecture and this paradigm was dominant until late 1960. in twentieth century, the limitations of natural resources were understoo...

Land use regression (LUR) models have been globally used to estimate long-term air pollution exposures. The present study aimed to analyze the association of different land use types and traffic measures with air pollutants in Tehran, Iran, as part of the future development of LUR models. Data of the particulate matter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were extracted from...

objective: more than 75 percent of iran is located in arid and semi-arid then land degradation and desertification are one of the crises ecological. we require a proper understanding of causes and processes of desertification to control the huge phenomenon on the global and regional situation. because southeast of iran located in arid land then assessment of desertification is very importance f...

the concept of land use transition highlights that land use change is non-linear and is associated with other societal and biophysical system changes. changes in human systems has resulted in changes in the natural system such as changes in land use. land use change causes not only environmental factors like geography and topography are important, but social factors examined such as population ...

Previous literature has shown that land use regulations influence where people choose to live within the U.S. by impacting housing prices. In this paper, we study the impact of these same regulations on another component of population growth, fertility rates. First, we employ a dataset on the stringency of land restrictions using court based measures created by Ganong and Shoag (2017). We add t...
