The transition zone from forest to Tundra, the ecotone, is such a feature. Locational correlation is herein demonstrated between a linear signature on the imagery and several ground truth positions of the ecotone in Canada. The position of the linear signature all across northern Canada is then ...
A gathering of ‘Prager-like people’ seeking together to identify and clarify the issues challenging our contemporary America.
An ecosystem includes the living things and nonliving things within a defined space. All of the organisms within an ecosystem interact and are interdependent upon one another. There is defined nutrient cycling and the biotic factors in an ecosystem ar...
In game theory, models determine how the behavior of one participant affects and depends on the behavior of other players. Using their machine learning algorithm andgametheory approach, the researchers looked at the interactions of several features of the genetic material, including its structure and...
The soaring Buteos prefer open areas with low vegetation, like the rough-legged hawk, which breeds in the treeless northerntundra. Many, like the red-tailed hawk, will soar and circle to watch for the movement of prey below. The smaller Accipiters like the sharp-shinned hawk prefer a den...
In contrast, tundra and boreal forests remain almost entirely intact (Hoekstra et al. 2005). This posits a relationship between the amount of human impact on a state and its likelihood to protect land. Similarly, it has been argued that deforestation is a particularly compelling threat, leading...
To analyse habitat use by cranes, we applied a 10 m spatial resolution land cover (classified into 10 major land use cover types, including Cropland, Forest, Grassland, Shrubland, Wetland, Water, Tundra, Impervious surface, Bareland and Snow/Ice, of which 8 were relevant to this study) dat...
