However, there is no publically available spatially explicit in-season crop-type classification information for the U.S. Corn Belt (a landscape predominated by corn and soybean).
The likelihood of the emergence of an epidemic in different landscape belts was determined.
Its predicted predominance along a broad belt of xeric landscapes at higher latitudes is not surprising, as the association of An. coluzzii with aridity has been noted previously, at least in West Africa (della Torre et al. 2005; Costantini et al. 2009), and is consistent with its superior resistance to desiccation stress relative to An. gambiae (Lee et al. 2009b).
Building on recent proposals from maximum entropy theory and nonequilibrium thermodynamics, we address these issues through a Bayesian energy landscape tilting (BELT) scheme for computing Bayesian hyperensembles over conformational ensembles.
Geographic research on the Corn Belt and other regional landscapes of the central U.S. has not to date identified quantitatively the climatic, edaphic, topographic, and economic characteristics that determine rural land cover, and that therefore govern land cover change.
The findings of the present case study in the Peruvian Central Andes clearly show land changes (1988 2008) that have to be interpreted as the consequences of land use intensification around Huancayo Metropolitano – at all altitudinal belts of the rural urban landscape.
Using cluster analysis we group the local authorities according to whether they use the green belt to: control urban growth, enhance landscape protection, improve the landscape or whether they consider the green belt to be a minor issue.
The Lower Rhine Embayment hosts important Loess-Palaeosol-Sequences (LPS) within the western European loess belt yielding valuable information on landscape evolution and palaeoclimatic dynamics.
Overall we argue that a new green space planning concept should be implemented that explicitly refers to the green belt's role in restoring landscapes.
Located in Central China and the middle reaches of Yangtze River, Hubei Province is distributed in a transitional belt where physical conditions and landscapes are on the transition from north to south and from east to west.
