Furthermore, the number of earthquakes with low absolute ΔCFF values depends on the spatial extent of the study area.
As with fire activity, croplands had smaller burned extents when compared to vegetated cover types in the GLC-Share Database [51] for the extent of the study area.
The issue of scaling is related to the grain size (pixel size), or the minimum mapping unit, and the extent of the study area.
While some recommendations on these aspects exist, they focus on Gaussian data and high ratios of the variogram range to the extent of the study area.
The top 3 measured impacts, in terms of lineal extent of the study trail segment impacted, were exposed roots, parallel trails, and soil erosion.
The original areal extent of the study area to be modeled is bordered by the solid black line, while the extended modeling area lies just outside this boundary (see text for explanation).
In order to examine how a variation in the extent of the study area influences habitat selection of the raccoon, we ran models at two different scales at Lavandevil Wildlife Refuge and the Gilan Province.
However, it is noted that to limit the extent of the study a constant coefficient of consolidation is assumed in the analysis presented here, though this assumption is easily relaxed.
The extent of the study area was defined by wolf and elk home ranges, calculated from a 95% kernel density estimator of telemetry location data collected from 2004 2007 [19].
