The battle against too many turbines will be helped if the Wolds wins an upgrade from its current High Quality Landscape Area status to the better-protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Livestock grazed on good quality landscapes have smooth body hair but when grazed on poor quality landscapes they display rough body hair.
The data quality landscape is described, and its research foundations in computer science, total quality management and statistics are reviewed.
Visitation rates were higher for honeybees in high quality landscapes with relatively large areas of alternative foraging habitat.
The effects of restoration were investigated by examining how habitat quality, landscape factors and food resources determined territory densities.
Such resilience has allowed the actuation of a number of integrated hydraulic works in the Seveso area, likely to shape, in time, a new quality landscape in the extremely compromised suburban area north of Milan.
We used regression and hierarchical partitioning techniques to determine the relationship between species richness and environmental variables describing patch size and shape, patch quality, landscape configuration and landscape quality.
The Swiss Landscape Monitoring Program LABES (abbreviation for German "Landschaftsbeobachtung Schweiz") is an attempt to generate a comprehensive indicator set for high quality landscape assessments at the national scale.
The factors included maintenance cost of roads, road access area, military training intensity, soil erosion, water quality, landscape fragmentation, and noise production.
Plant specialists showed a pronounced dependence on quality measures at the patch scale and at the landscape scale, whereas animal specialists were influenced by patch size, patch quality, landscape quality and isolation measures.
