Although site- and landscape-level features influenced occupancy, our results indicate that site-specific features (vegetation clutter and basal area) influenced most species.
Countryside Survey is a unique large scale long-term monitoring programme investigating stock and change of habitats, landscape features, vegetation, soil and freshwaters of Great Britain.
In the view of the hydrological objectives, Landsat ETM data were selected and acquired in the dry season to verify features (vegetation, soil moisture) related to the occurrence of water and to avoid overshadowing by too much vegetation.
There are various factors involved in the flowing of runoff and flooding, including intensity of rainfall, watershed slope, soil infiltrability, topographic conditions, topographic features, vegetation, and soil saturation (Thomas, 1968; Eard 1975).
Our objectives are to represent biodiversity targets for a range of biodiversity features (vegetation types, environmental domains, and distributions of birds and species of national environmental significance) whilst minimising (separately) area, acquisition costs, and the stewardship costs of selected candidate priority areas.
Although under ideal conditions, two data loggers that come into contact should record precisely the same information, the proximity loggers cannot achieve absolute spatial precision, due to radio-waves being reflected, refracted and absorbed by a number of natural features (vegetation, water bodies, height of ground, terrain etc).
By contrast, we detected strong relationships between colour morph frequencies and a broad environmental gradient (mean annual aridity index) and microhabitat feature (vegetation cover).
Site planning involves plans for specific developments in which precise arrangements of buildings, roadways, utilities, landscape elements, topography, water features, and vegetation are shown.
These features include vegetation, hydrology, water chemistry, soils/substrate, and geomorphology.
Slope was the dominant factor affecting elevation error compared with other landscape features (aspect, vegetation, etc).
Detection of specific terrain features and vegetation, referenced as a landscape classification, is an important component in the management and planning of natural resources.
