This study is able to provide insights regarding the potential effects of climate change and changes in land-use upon the amount of dissolved carbon in lake water.
In the context of watershed services, OCs represent any benefits foregone by a farmer upon converting from their current land use to an alternative form of land use that is more watershed service-friendly.
"Until an agreed-upon land use plan is in place," he added, much of the site-related transportation work "cannot proceed in earnest".
Rangeland management as a discipline, observing alteration in forage, land cover and land use, is dependent upon the judgement and experience of field specialists and less on quantitative methods (Booth and Tueller 2003; West 2003).
Land-use intensity encompasses metrics for inputs to the land-based production system, for output for the production systems, and system-level changes induced by land use that impact upon ecological and social systems (e.g., impacts on ecosystem parameters).
The Board of Estimate (a city body controlling land use decisions) was prevailed upon to drop the plan.
- are common and some of these have had a major influence upon land use and management (shooting, in particular) and the rural economy.
Nature conservation and pastoralism are often deemed incompatible (Young et al. 2005; Skogen and Thrane 2008; Heikkinen et al. 2012), and conflicts often arise from the restrictions that biodiversity conservation imposes upon land use and pastoralists' livelihoods (Heikkinen et al. 2012; Young et al. 2005).
Each grid was then designated either as urban or suburban based upon land use classification, and its associated density measure was adjusted for the underlying variation in population density (i.e., kernel density × population density × grid cell size/1,000) to yield infection rates per 1,000 population.
The framework is composed of three submodels considering (1) the social and economic structures based upon a social accounting matrix, (2) land use change and urban sprawl based upon a binary logit regression, and (3) stream ecosystem condition in the catchment area based upon the NAWQA National Water Quality Assessmentt) dataset.
Land use change exerts a primary control upon these relationships.
