Global to Local: Ecological Land Classification
Author: Richard A. Sims
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400916531
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 619
Book Description
Ecological Land Classification (ELC) refers to the description of land resources at a range of spatial resolutions (i.e. global to local) and for a range of purposes or values. The emerging science of ELC is in fact a very carefully integrated blend of vegetation and earth sciences, climatology, cartography and ecology with a range of new technologies and methodologies including computer-based geographic information systems, remote sensing and simulation modelling. This publication defines the current `state-of-the-art' of ELC. It provides particular insight into the role of ELC in current and future forest resource planning and management, and emphasizes its application and usefulness at various spatial scales, for a variety of geographic locations, and under a range of management scenarios/constraints. The book is an invaluable and substantial reference source about the current trends in ELC and will be of particular value to ecologists, foresters, geographers, resource managers, wildlife biologists, GIS and remote sensing specialists, educators and students.

Land and its Uses — Actual and Potential
Author: F. T. Last
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461321697
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 577
Book Description
During its existence the Ecosciences Panel of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was constantly concerned with (i) the communic ation gap between the generators of ecological/environmental infor mation and those who use it and (ii) the narrow interpretation of 'environmental' which too frequently was taken as being synonymous with pollution. Because of this concern, and because the panel recognised that land-use is perhaps the overriding facet of environmental policy it was decided to arrange the Seminar recorded in this volume :- Land and its Uses : Actual and Potential An Environmental Appraisal The development of this Seminar was chaired by Professor F. T. Last who was enthusiastically supported by B. G. Bell (U.K.), Drs S. Bie (Norway), 0. W. Heal (U.K.), R. Herrmann (Federal Republic of Germany), M.C.B.Hotz (formerly of NATO, Belgium, but now in Canada), L. Munn (Canada) and N. Yassoglou (Greece). Together, they decided that the participants should include (i) planners/decision makers and (ii) scientists generating ecological/environmental infor mation, in the hope that they would gain a better understanding of each others problems and attitudes and as a result identify how information can be prepared in a more usable form.

An Ecological Land Classification Framework for the United States (Classic Reprint)
Author: Richard S. Driscoll
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780364551844
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
Excerpt from An Ecological Land Classification Framework for the United States Bailey's (1980a) classification system is a nine-level integrated hierarchy based on climate, vegetation, land surface form, and soil. The upper levels are based on macroclimatic regimes. The midlevels integrate broad soil classes, broad vegetation types, land-surface features, and expressions of climatic-geomorphic processes. The lower levels deal with soil series and plant associations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 26
Book Description
The goal of the Ecological Land Classification Program (ELC) is to establish a comprehensive and consistent province-wide approach for ecosystem description, inventory, and interpretation that will facilitate key conservation objectives at a variety of scales from site to landscape levels. This prospectus expresses the range of needs and priorities for work in Ontario. The document gives a history of the concept and describes the analysis of needs; program components, including classification development and rationalization, wetlands classification, ecosystem succession, mapping and inventory, and education and transfer; program structure and delivery; and program length and review.
