O'Connor wrote in a 46-page ruling that the rules "likely violate" the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act and "places substantial pressure on plaintiffs to perform and cover transition and abortion procedures".
As a result, access to the official government transition offices and the pot of money to cover transition costs remained barred to both Mr. Bush and Mr. Gore today, and agencies across the federal government waited for a definitive end to the election before extending assistance to either.
The dynamics of forest cover transition during 1985–2015 was analysed using multi-temporal Landsat imagery.
We describe a spatially explicit simulation model of large-scale forest cover transition in the North American boreal biome.
As a case study, we simulated forest cover transition in a 3.7 million ha area in boreal Canada.
Probability matrices of forest cover transition were derived for 15 discrete states at 20-year intervals for each of the environmental domains.
Opportunities for ecological intensification, utilizing trees in agricultural landscapes, vary along stages of a tree cover transition of forest alteration and deforestation followed by agroforestation.
Therefore, reliable estimations of carbon sequestration and emission at the landscape level after land cover transition from forest, swidden agriculture and other land use types are needed.
Square boxes indicate the eleven 20 km2 land cover change sampling blocks at 60 m spatial resolution Table 1 Piedmont ecoregion land cover transition rates between 1992 and 2000 Water Developed M.disturbed Mining Nat.bare Forest Gra/shr Agri.
As part of a wider interest in tree cover transition curves that link agroforestation stages of landscapes to a preceding deforestation process, we here focus on 'tree diversity transition curves' i. as a conceptual framework to understand current processes and how shifts in drivers affect tree diversity and ii. to help identify constraints and opportunities for interventions.
