Taylor & Francis Group publishes books for all levels of academic study and professional development, across a wide range of subjects and disciplines.
Taylor & Francis Group publishes quality peer-reviewed journals under the Routledge and Taylor & Francis imprints. The newest part of the group, Cogent OA, offers a purely open access program.
Note from Land Portal:
Taylor & Francis Online contains many publications related to land issues, though mostly at the charge of a fee.

Displaying 461 - 465 of 661Thermal anomalies associated with faults: a case study of the Jinhua–Quzhou basin of Zhejiang Province, China
Faults provide the path for geothermal natural convection and partially influence the ground surface thermal environment. The land surface temperatures (LSTs) near a fault are higher than in other areas and can indicate the strike trend of an underground fault. However, these anomalies of higher LSTs are not located accurately in the fault centre but near it with some offset, and these LST data may include other thermal information that needs to be eliminated prior to analysis.
efficiency of sampling very high resolution images for area estimation in the European Union
Very high resolution (VHR) images are a valuable information source to estimate land cover area and land cover change. When full coverage of a region with VHR images is not affordable, a sample of images can be considered. Square grids provide a practical sampling frame for VHR images. When using a land cover map as pseudo-truth, the sampling variance is easily assessed but may be overestimated if the land cover map has a coarse resolution.
Mapping land-use and land-cover change along Bolivia's Corredor Bioceánico with CBERS and the Landsat series: 1975–2008
This study uses a combination of Landsat series data (Multispectral Scanner or MSS, Thematic Mapper or TM and Enhanced Thematic Mapper or ETM+) to map land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) from 1975 to 2001. It extends the land change record to 2008 using Chinese–Brazil Earth Resources Satellite (CBERS)-2 and CBERS-2B data on a multi-scene level. It also establishes a methodology to correct for systematic distortion inherent in CBERS imagery without the loss of information present in Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery post-2003.
Effects of Land Cover Disturbance on Stream Invertebrate Diversity and Metal Concentrations in a Small Urban Industrial Watershed
The landscape surrounding Sudbury, Ontario, has been severely affected by 100 years of mining and forestry and a recent, large-scale ecological risk assessment found that terrestrial plant communities continue to be impaired by remnant metals and poor soil conditions. We investigated the risks of these adverse landscape conditions on a small headwater stream by digitizing land cover at a fine scale and relating it to benthic invertebrate diversity and metal concentrations at 13 sites in the system.
Why the Western United States' prior appropriation water rights system should weather climate variability
For the past 160 years, the prior appropriation system of the Western United States has adapted to changing water uses and shifting societal priorities. This paper argues that prior appropriation creates sufficient certainty to allow for economic development and facilitate water markets, yet is flexible enough to adapt to changing priorities and water supplies. Because it possesses both flexibility and certainty, it is a strong enough framework for the Western United States to weather the possible effects of climate change on water supply.
