Under the hypothesis that trees in high luminosity conditions have a more aesthetical growth, in this study we explore the relationship between plant shape and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in Bursera fagaroides, a characteristic species of the tropical dry forest and xerophytic shrub-lands useful for urban green areas in semiarid environments.
Various prediction schemes are addressed which are useful for land-use planning and the assessment of noise and vibration impact from new railways.
The integrated approach of, urban dynamic assessment using land use modeling is useful for spatiotemporal representation of, distinct urban development forms.
The use of forward scenarios to forecast the environmental implications of potential changes in climate and land use is a useful tool for policy development.
This type of assessment is very useful for land-use and urban planning, as well as for evacuation purposes during the development of an eruptive process detected by the Volcano Observatory of Manizales.
The results from this study may be useful for land use planning, decision-making for wildfire management, and the allocation of fire resources prior to the start of the main fire season.
Assessment of future socio-ecological consequences of land-use policies is useful for supporting decisions about what and where to invest for the best overall environmental and developmental outcomes.
A formalization of results was carried out in UML (Unified Modeling Language) for the future construction of a Multi Agent System (MAS) model, the implementation of which will be useful for land use planning, discussions among local and regional actors and scenario building.
We chose the Level II designation as it provides 20 distinct ecoregions in the US that the species of interest occur, which captures sufficient variation in climate, ecosystems, and land use to be useful for stakeholders without being too general (Level I) or too specific (Level III).
When defining categories of local land uses, it is useful to clarify if and how more general definitions can be applied later.
