Increased use of technology, however, such as excavators, coupled with expanding trade and rising demand for land have stimulated large-scale drainage of forested peatlands for transmigration projects and agricultural development [64 66].

The objectives of this research were to develop a simple method, based on geostatistic concepts for estimating a rapid and reliable representative value of Ks, for the south-western region of Iran from limited in situ measurements, suitable for large-scale drainage design, by consideration of the spatial variability of Ks.
It not only triggered the extraordinary uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [ 10], but also profoundly influenced the Asian climate through the genesis of the Asian monsoon [ 11], the development of large-scale drainage patterns [ 12], and especially, the speciation and biodiversity of the organisms living on and below the Plateau (e.g. [ 9, 13]).
Satellite imagery supports the concept of large-scale drainage rearrangement in the Quaternary, driven by tectonic subsidence that diverted streamflow and sediment discharge away from the Sahabi basin toward the inland delta of the lower Kufrah basin.
The González-Gordon family saw that the wetlands were threatened by the planting of eucalyptus trees and large-scale drainage plans proposed by the government.
Open landscapes in many parts of Europe have been negatively affected by large-scale drainage and amelioration to support agricultural production.
Inner Lesser Himalayan exposure, combined with unroofing of the Nanga Parbat Massif, caused a decrease in average εNd values of Indus River sediment after 5 Ma, rather than large-scale drainage capture.
Yan et al. (2009b) indicate that around 4 5 km of bedrock has been removed over much of the Pearl River drainage and that because the Pearl River has not been involved in large-scale drainage capture, unlike the neighboring large river basins (Brookfield 1998; Zheng et al. 2013; Clift et al. 2006), most of this material has been delivered to the southern Chinese continental margin.
Mantel tests were performed for the entire drainage (large scale) and for Iliamna Lake populations only (fine scale), which concentrated the highest number of populations and the greatest diversity of spawning-habitat types.
Independence of geographic distances and differences in spawn timing was verified at large scales (entire drainage: r = -0.015, p = 0.464) and fine scales (Iliamna Lake: r = 0.14, p = 0.13).
