The acquisition dates were chosen since they fit well with the high photosynthetic activity of natural vegetation, crops and offset cloud cover and fire pattern disturbance.
It was concluded that the examined valves do not significant result in flow pattern disturbances.
Stress is also associated with physical and psychological symptoms such as altered appetite, sleep pattern disturbances and headache.
Cumulative spatial patterns of disturbance, representing the proportion, arrangement, size, and number of disturbances, and adjusted annually for spectral recovery, were quantified in 223 watersheds using a Landsat time series dataset where disturbance events are detected and classified annually from 1985 to 2011.
The objective of this research was to quantify spatial patterns of disturbance and recovery over time for use as inputs in a regionalization that characterizes unique spatial-temporal trajectories of disturbance in western Alberta, Canada.
In this paper we asked to what extent invasion depends on spatial and temporal patterns of disturbance.
We surveyed 209 coastal wetlands on Mauritius to assess their biophysical attributes, land-use activities, and patterns of disturbance, to help identify factors that threaten wetland biodiversity.
Analyzing the spatial patterns of disturbance on the landscape, we found a highly uneven distribution of risk among stands (Gini coefficients up to 0.466), but also a spatially variable effectiveness of silvicultural risk reduction measures.
This study explored how spectral and textural characteristics of high-spatial resolution IKONOS imagery reflected patterns of disturbance severity across a windstorm damaged, 121-km2 area of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in northeastern Minnesota, USA.
Because scientists and land managers are generally not familiar with military decision-making, tactical doctrine, and vehicle weapons systems capabilities, it is difficult for them to predict patterns of disturbance a priori.
