This lack of implementation contributes to a high prevalence and spatial area of encroachment within Southern Ontario municipal woodland edges with adjacent housing.
Moreover, the information that we used to define trans-spatial lesions, including encroachment on or encasement of the TVP and invasion of the medial pterygoid, may have potential to differentiate benign and malignant PPS tumors.
Second, we used historical aerial photographs to construct a spatial model of past tree encroachment and to predict near future encroachment.
Piñon and juniper encroachment influenced the spatial distribution of the duff/litter but not the distribution of mineral layer SOC.
Despite this spatial complexity, most studies of woody encroachment infer changes in C stocks from point measurements of above and below ground resources that do not incorporate information on the spatial distribution, density, or variation in aboveground biomass and how these changes relate to SOC [4 7, 10, 21].

In this study, we use a combination of plot- and remote sensing-based techniques to estimate the carbon impacts of piñon and juniper (PJ) encroachment in SE Utah across a variety of spatial scales with a specific focus on the role of spatial heterogeneity in carbon estimates.
Questions were centred around historical background of land grabbing, factors that led to the encroachment of large-scale agriculture, LSFs involved in the process, and spatial and temporal patterns of the phenomenon.
Woody encroachment significantly decreased soil δ15N throughout the entire soil profile, and created horizontal spatial patterns of soil δ15N that strongly resembled the spatial distribution of woody patches and were evident within each depth increment.
