Here we apply a landscape-level survey design to test how reptiles respond to patterns resulting from these three processes in the Brigalow Belt of eastern Australia, a region highly modified by recent agricultural expansion.
We then applied a landscape graph-based approach to the roosting habitat of the lesser horseshoe bat to extract several patch-level metrics representing the functional connectivity of the landscape at different spatial scales.
Applications are complicated by issues of scale related to the size of the landscape of interest (bigger is better), the resolution at which the landscape is modeled and analyzed (finer is better), and the cost or complexity of applying a landscape model (cheaper and easier is better).
In this article, we applied a landscape genetic approach to evaluate the effects of landscape barriers and sex-biased dispersal on the potential for raccoon rabies variant (RRV) spread in southern Québec.
Through a case study, differences between courtyard sound fields were examined by in situ measurements before and after applying a practical landscape design using vegetation, wood decking and street furniture.
By applying a patent landscape approach, the study offers a quantitative perspective on current developments in waste heat recovery technology, provides indicators of future trends, and contributes to debate about technological competition in the automotive industry.
Applying a broader landscape perspective to understand spatio-temporal changes in local populations and communities has been increasingly used in terrestrial systems to study effects of human impact and land use change.
The similarity of the glacial landforms of this region to the active, temperate glacial landsystem produced by historical glacier recession in modern glacierized catchments, where sheetfloods have not been influential in subglacial landform production, allows us to apply a modern analogue to landscape interpretation that does not include subglacial sheetflooding.
We use focal-species analysis to apply a graph-theoretic approach to landscape connectivity in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina.
CSA does not focus only at the plot level, however, but applies an integrated landscape approach, promoting coordination among crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry, as well as energy and water, following the principles of ecosystem management.
This approach however has certain limitations when applied at a landscape scale.
