Comparability among population data enumerated within different time periods may be complicated by changing enumeration boundaries over time. Areal interpolation methods are commonly used to solve such zoning incompatibilities, but are frequently based on the questionable assumption of homogeneous population density within the different zones. To achieve more accurate estimates, land cover or other ancillary data may be used to better characterize the underlying source zone population density surface prior to areal interpolation.
Littoral macroinvertebrate communities of dune lakes in the far north of New Zealand
The littoral macroinvertebrate faunas of 17 dune lakes on the Aupouri Peninsula in northern New Zealand were examined. Land cover of individual catchments was principally sand dunes and scrub, plantation forest, pasture, or a mixture of plantation forest and pasture. Sampling was concentrated in the sedge beds, submerged macrophytes and surface sediment layers of the littoral zone. Sixty-eight invertebrate taxa were recorded, 11–30 per lake. Relative abundance of major faunal groups differed considerably among lakes but a core group of common species was found in three quarters of them.
effect of corn–soybean rotation on the NDVI-based drought indicators: a case study in Iowa, USA, using Vegetation Condition Index
Satellite remote sensing has become a popular tool to analyze agricultural drought through terrestrial vegetation health conditions using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Drought monitoring techniques using remote sensing-based drought indices assume that vegetation conditions vary year-to-year due to prevailing weather conditions (e.g., precipitation and temperature), and current conditions are evaluated based on the deviation from the long-term statistics such as mean, minimum, or maximum.
Possible impacts of climate change on water quality in streams of the Czech Republic
The impacts of changes in water temperature and flow on selected water quality parameters, as one of the consequences of climate change, were studied in river catchments in the Czech Republic with little anthropogenic influence. The impact of climate change was manifested by an increase in stream temperature by 1.15°C over 28 years. The selected water quality parameters were dependent on flow, with up to 10-fold increases in the concentrations of ammonia, phosphorus and chlorophyll- a at minimum flow levels.
Temporal Oscillation and Losses of Three Carbon Forms in a Microcatchment of NW Spain
Long-term agricultural sustainability and water quality may be threatened by inadequate land management. Carbon (C) losses at the catchment scale largely depend on land use and management practices. In “Abelar” farm (A Coruña, NW Spain), swine slurry was directly discharged during a period of about 30 years onto agricultural maize fields and rangeland under cattle production. In 1998, the agricultural fields and rangeland were planted to stands of Eucalyptus globulus .
