Where real estate taxation differentiates between land uses, size of built structures, developed and undeveloped land, it has an influence on the decisions of landowners what and how to build.
Participants had a range of enterprises (dairy, beef/sheep grazing, cropping, lifestyle land use), property sizes and computer ownership and expertise.
The study comprises six large regions (of about 400 km) within the prior OSR cropping regions of Austria differing substantially in land use diversity, field size, farm size and land holding pattern.
A positive interaction of urban percent land use and watershed size indicated a scale effect on total runoff.
This review paper focused its attention on landscape metrics or indices that are frequently used to assess the structural characteristics of the landscape and to monitor changes in land use: mean patch size (MPS), connectivity (CONN), boundary length (BL) and the patch number (NP).
To understand this relationship, this study developed a single forest fragmentation index based on a combination of three landscape metrics, i.e., non-forest area, forest edge bordered by human land use and patch size coefficient of variation, using the state of Selangor, Malaysia as a case study.
In contrast to the other two land use transitions, the effect size following grassland to woodland conversion was significantly negative (effect size = -0.264 ± 0.485 95% CI, p < 0.001).
Our study indicated that long-term land use intensification affected the size, activity, and composition of soil microbial community in subtropical grazing lands.
These lakes varied in their position in a drainage network and surrounding land use as well as size, maximum depth, chemistry, and clarity.
Our results indicated that walking activity is associated with Jacobs' six conditions for urban vitality, including land use mix, density, block size, building age, accessibility, and border vacuums.
