in this paper, we report an investigation of changes in land use and ecosystem services on loess plateau in northern shaanxi province from 1978 to 2004. we used three landsat tm and/or etm data sets to estimate changes in the size of five land-cover/land-use categories, and we also used previously published value coefficients to estimate changes in the value of ecosystem services delivered by e...

road network (rn) can affect patterns and distribution of land uses and covers. road network expansion has both direct and indirect impacts on land uses and covers changes. agricultural land conversions (alcs) are especially known as one of the main important types of land use changes. the purpose of this paper, in addition to estimation of the direct impact of rn expansion on alcs, is to evalu...

riparian vegetation is a component of river system that performs certain basic functions including primary vegetative production, protecting stream banks from erosion, trapping sediments, promoting water quality, wildlife habitat and fisheris, forage for livestock, etc. in this research, spatio-temporal change of vegetation riparian area of aghbolagh-river as an upstream of karoon-river for 65-...

Landuse change and climate are the main drivers of hydrological processes. The purpose this study was to analyse separate combined future effects landuse changes on water balance components different spatial temporal scales using integrated Soil Water Assessment Tool model. focused relationship between yield (WYLD) sediment (SYLD) in heterogeneous Taleghan Catchment Iran. For scenarios, RCP 4.5...

This paper chose Eastern China area, Central China area, Western China area and Northeast China area as the study object and chose landuse classifications as the basic ecological system unit. It roughly estimated the regional ecological system service value. The theory of ecosystem service value, the method of ecological footprint and ecological carrying capacity are applied to analyze the cros...

Following a particularly dry summer, torrential rain event struck Western Norway on Tuesday 30 July 2019. The resulting floods and shallow landslides caused one fatality severe damages to public private infrastructure in the former Jølster municipality. Building earlier work, which we identified characteristics of induced by rains unsaturated soils, here present suggestions for adaptation Norwe...
