Evaluating Landscape Options for Corridor Restoration between Giant Panda Reserves
Published on December 21, 2017
Our study suggested that in this landscape, automobile tunnels are the best means to remove current barriers to giant panda movements caused by anthropogenic interferences. -
Assessing the utility of otolith chemistry for management of six freshwater fishes from a river-reservoir system
Published on December 14, 2017
Although floodplain habitats are important for fish production and recruitment, their natal contributions may vary by species, a topic that has not been thoroughly investigated in large floodplain rivers. -
Species- and habitat-specific otolith chemistry patterns inform riverine fisheries management
Published on December 14, 2017
The goal of this study was to develop a predictive methodology for using species and habitat identity to design efficient otolith chemistry studies. -
The Recovery Processes of Giant Panda Habitat in Wolong Nature Reserve, Sichuan China (Chinese)
Published on December 6, 2017
According to this study, the artificially planted habitat was neither an efficient approach for the bamboo resources recovery nor for the vegetation community recovery. -
ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY -- Integration across a metacoupled world
Published on November 26, 2017
This paper presents an integrated framework of metacoupling: human-nature interactions within a system (intracoupling), between distant systems (telecoupling), and between adjacent systems (pericoupling). -
Spatio-temporal characteristics of the trade-off and synergy relationships among multiple ecosystem services in the Upper Reaches of Hanjiang River Basin
Published on November 16, 2017
In this paper, we mapped the ecosystem service of soil conservation, net primary production and water yield in the upper reaches of Hanjiang River Basin based on the land use and land cover. -
The past, present and future distribution of a deep-sea shrimp in the Southern Ocean
Published on November 9, 2017
We use species distribution models to predict changes in the geographic range of the deep-sea Antarctic shrimp Nematocarcinus lanceopes under changing climatic conditions from the Last Glacial Maximum to the present and to the year 2100. -
A three-dimensional mapping of the ocean based on environmental data
Published on November 9, 2017
This paper describes an objectively derived and globally comprehensive set of 37 distinct volumetric region units, called ecological marine units (EMUs). -
Grand challenges in the management and conservation of North American inland fish and fisheries
Published on November 9, 2017
The themes identified are to raise awareness of diverse values associated with inland fish and fisheries, govern inland fish and fisheries to satisfy multiple use and conservation objectives, and ensure productive inland fisheries. -
Assessing fisheries impact on river fish biomass: A systematic map protocol
Published on November 9, 2017
We describe our methodology to search, identify, and describe available river fisheries to create a global database of river fisheries harvest. This will provide the first global database of spatially and temporally explicit river fisheries data. -
Stochastic spread models: A comparison between an individual-based and a lattice-based model for assessing the expansion of invasive termites over a landscape
Published on October 19, 2017
In this work, we introduce a new stochastic lattice-based model for simulating the spread of invasive termites over a landscape and compare it to a recently published stochastic individual-based approach. -
Areal delineation of home regions from contribution and editing patterns in OpenStreetMap
Published on October 19, 2017
This research explores the editing history of nodes and ways for 13 highly active OSM members within a two-tiered clustering process to delineate an individual mapper’s home region from remotely mapped areas. -
ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY -- Telecoupling Toolbox: spatially explicit tools for studying telecoupled human and natural systems
Published on October 19, 2017
We introduce the Telecoupling Toolbox, the first set of tools developed to map and identify the five major interrelated components of the telecoupling framework: systems, flows, agents, causes, and effects. -
Spatio-temporal reconstruction of missing forest microclimate measurements
Published on October 19, 2017
Scientists and land managers are increasingly monitoring forest microclimate environments to better understand ecosystem processes, such as carbon sequestration and the population dynamics of species. -
Predicting the geographical distribution of two invasive termite species from occurrence data
Published on October 19, 2017
Predicting the potential habitat of species under both current and future climate change scenarios is crucial for monitoring invasive species and understanding a species' response to different environmental conditions. -
Identifying spatial pattern of NDVI series dynamics using recurrence quantification analysis
Published on October 18, 2017
In this paper recurrence quantification analysis was used to measure the determinism and predictability of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index series and its spatial patterns. -
Investigating spatial variation in the relationships between NDVI and environmental factors at multi-scales: a case study of Guizhou Karst Plateau, China
Published on October 18, 2017
This article investigated the spatially non-stationary relationships between NDVI and environmental factors using geographically weighted regression (GWR) at multi-scales. -
The distance decay of similarity in climate variation and vegetation dynamics
Published on October 18, 2017
This study aimed to illustrate the strength of the distance-decay relationship in variation of climate and vegetation, and to quantify the relationship. -
Investigating spatial non-stationary and scale-dependent relationships between urban surface temperature and environmental factors using geographically weighted regression
Published on October 18, 2017
In this paper, using Shenzhen City in China as a case study, a geographically weighted regression model is used to explore the scale-dependent and spatial non-stationary relationships between urban land surface temperature and environmental determinants. -
Nonlinear features and complexity patterns of vegetation dynamics in the transition zone of North China
Published on October 18, 2017
In this study, we adopted ROA to investigate the spatial patterns of determinism of the vegetation dynamics ecological-geographical transition zones in North China, especially the differences between transition zone and the surrounding areas.
