Ž . A wide range of local, state, federal, and private programs are available to support the national USA policy of wetland ‘No Net Loss’. Implementation of programs, however, has resulted in the continued loss of natural wetlands on the premise that restored or created wetlands will replace the functions and values lost by destruction of natural wetlands. What are the ecological implications a...

We tested the hypotheses that species with greater mobility and/or higher reproductive rates are less sensitive to habitat loss than species with lower mobility and/or reproductive rates by conducting a meta-analysis of wetland vertebrate responses to wetland habitat loss. We combined data from 90 studies conducted worldwide that quantified the relationship between wetland amount in a landscape...

The National Park of Las Tablas de Daimiel in Central Spain is a wetland area of great value regarding biodiversity and wildlife habitat. This type of ecosystem is unique within a semi-arid climate and especially sensitive to degradation processes caused by growing pressure on natural resources (agricultural practices, groundwater depletion and land use change) as well as climatic changes. The ...

Wetlands are most important and valuable ecosystem for maintaining biodiversity on the planet. In present scenario wetlands are vulnerable to climate change and land conversion activities like agriculture and urbanization. Due to their important fine temporal scale monitoring of sensitive wetlands are required. For this purpose few tools are specified to monitor the wetland at landscape scale. ...

This paper presents a scenario-based approach to strategic environmental assessment (SEA) for wetland trend analysis and land use and land cover (LUC) modeling in an urban environment. The application is focused on the Saskatoon urban environment, a rapidly growing urban municipality in Canada’s prairie pothole region. Alternative future LUC was simulated using remote sensing data and city spat...

The aim of this project is to extend the functionality of the Berkeley Lazy Abstraction Software verification Toolkit (BLAST) [1] to verify safety properties of concurrent software systems described in the C language. This is achieved by modifying the internal representation of Regions in Blast to include multiple control locations and multiple call stacks. The modifications have been successfu...

A utility-theoretic model indicates that mitigation prices for wetland ecosystems depend on preferences and technical knowledge. Empirical analysis found gaps in respondents’ knowledge about such ecosystems. Valuing wetland types requires dealing with respondents’ possible misinformation, by developing tools for informing respondents or by combining service-based valuations with valid technical...
