He explained that an uncontrolled population could lead to overbrowsed vegetation, increased road accidents and empty bellies.
The vegetation of road verges was lower and species numbers were higher than in arable field margins.
Barrier wall trespass was facilitated by overhanging vegetation, maintenance road access, and by the use of the type-A fence.
Automatic detection of both geographical (natural) and man-made structures, such as vegetation, buildings, roads and vehicles, in aerial or satellite images has been an active research topic the last decade [1, 2].
Results indicate that distances to rivers and the presence of old river beds are critical to explain the current distribution of settlements, while vegetation, paved roads, and water table depth were not as relevant to explain settlement distribution.
Even in remnant linear habitats such as forest-edge vegetation along roads, historical patterns of site conditions and the landscape matrix at optimum scales can provide useful knowledge to improve explanations of the present distributions of grassland species.
We established scent plots in remnant vegetation beside roads within a study area of approximately 80 km2.
Minor roads, including Class IV and Class V roads, contributed most to regional landscape fragmentation while high level roads had larger effect on vegetation dynamics in road effect zone.
The results show that engineering measures can be effective in the short term, while re-vegetation of the road sideslopes is effective when the vegetation cover is established.
Not a single building, road, vegetation or people; handy, that last fact, as there's never any need to pull the curtains.
