Fire behavior was summarized for federal land management designations, including biological conservation reserves, recreational sites, managed forest, and wildland urban interface.
In this paper we used simulation modeling to quantify wildfire transmission and built a transmission network consisting of land designations defined by national forest management designations and ownership.
The results indicated that the size, shape, and fuel loading of management designations affected their exposure to wildfire from other designations and ownerships.
The extent to which these management designations in areas of the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean reflect whale population history and population structure has never previously been tested using genetic data.
Even more minutely, the Federal Bureau of Prisons now operates a handful of prisons with the Sex Offender Management Program (SOMP) designation.
We analysed the effect of explanatory variables on the ecological effectiveness of protected polygons (PPs): Legislation stringency, cummulative legal designations, management, size, age and bio-physical characteristics.
For example, the Hudson Valley is one of only two regions in New York containing Scenic Areas of Statewide Significance under state and federal coastal management law--designations that reflect the historic and visual importance of these resources and provide regulatory protections for them.
Thus, regardless of land use designation, landscape design and management of an urban area may strongly influence whether an area is attractive to a given bird species.
In the USA, state managed lands are leading the way with trail designation and management while Federal lands remain more restrictive.
Notably, the IAQ Practice Index was positively correlated with the reported level of administration support for a school's IAQ management program and the designation of a manager or coordinator to implement the program.
