This book contributes to a deeper understanding of landscape and regional modelling in general, and its broad range of facets with respect to various landscape parameters. It presents model approaches for a number of ecological and socio-economic landscape indicators, and also describes spatial decision support systems (DSS), frameworks, and model-based tools, which are prerequisites for deriving sustainable decision and solution strategies for the protection of comprehensively functioning landscapes. While it mainly focuses on the latest research findings in regional modelling and DSS in Europe, it also highlights the work of scientists from Russia. The book is intended for landscape modellers, scientists from various fields of landscape research, university teaching staff, and experts in landscape planning and management, landscape conservation and landscape policy.
We are delighted to introduce the proceedings of the first edition of the 2022 International Conference on Intelligent Technologies in Security and Privacy for Wireless Communication (ITSPWC 2022). This conference has brought researchers, developers and practitioners around the world who are leveraging and developing the Wireless Communication. The theme of ITSPWC 2022 was “Security and Challenges for Wireless Communication and Power Energy”. The technical program of ITSPWC 2022 consisted of 33 full papers, including 5 invited papers in oral presentation sessions at the main conference tracks. The conference tracks were: Track 1 – Recent Trends in IoT; Track 2 – Recent Trends in Smar...
This book presents an analysis of land and water resources in Siberia, initially characterizing the landscapes, their ecosystems, crucial processes, human impacts on soil and water quality, and the status quo of available research. Further chapters deal with modern monitoring and management methods that can lead to a significant knowledge shift and initiate sustainable soil and water resources use. These include soil hydrological laboratory measurement methods; process-based field evaluation methods for land and water quality; remote sensing and GIS technology-based landscape monitoring methods; process and ecosystem modeling approaches; methods of resource and process evaluation and functional soil mapping; and tools for controlling agricultural land use systems. More than 15 of these concrete monitoring and management tools can immediately be incorporated into research and practice. Maintaining the functions of great landscapes for future generations will be the reward for these efforts.
This book contains articles from a workshop on the modeling of water and nutrient dynamics in crop-soil systems. Data sets from lysimeters and experimental fields of multiyear crop rotations were provided for modelers. A unique data set is provided of a 100-year, long-term field experiment into crop yield and organic carbon development under different management systems. The book includes a detailed description of data sets which can be used by modelers and the papers describe the applications of 18 different modeling approaches.
Ecosystems change on a multitude of spatial and temporal scales. While analyses of ecosystem dynamics in short timespans have received much attention, the impacts of changes in the long term have, to a great extent, been neglected, provoking a lack of information and methodological know-how in this area. This book fills this gap by focusing on studies dealing with the investigation of complex, long-term ecological processes with regard to global change, the development of early warning systems, and the acquisition of a scientific basis for strategic conservation management and the sustainable use of ecosystems. Within this book, theoretical ecological questions of long-term processes, as well as an international dimension of long-term monitoring, observations and research are brought together. The outcome is an overview on different aspects of long-term ecological research. Aquatic, as well as terrestrial ecosystems are represented.
Die Monografie vereint vierzehn Beiträge, die vier unterschiedlichen Blöcken zugeordnet sind: 1. Beobachtungen und Analysen in Beispiellandschaften, 2. Landnutzungen und ihre Auswirkungen, 3. Landschaften als Lebensraum - Biologische Vielfalt in der Landschaft und 4. Aktuelle Entwicklungen und zukünftige Herausforderungen. Dieses thematische Spektrum lässt die Komplexität und den Facettenreichtum erkennen. Der besondere Wert der Erkenntnisse liegt in dem langfristigen, verschiedene Sachbereiche überspannenden, landschaftsbezogenen Beobachtungsansatz, der Berücksichtigung der naturräumlichen Bedingtheit vieler ökologischer Prozesse und der modellorientierten Vorgehensweise bei der Analyse und der Bewertung der Landschaftsprozesse.
This companion explores a range of conceptual and practical relationships between sound and space across various disciplines, providing insights from technical, creative, cultural, political, philosophical, psychological, and physiological perspectives. The content spans a wide range of spatial typologies, from large reverberant buildings to modest and intimate ones, from external public squares to domestic interiors, and from naturally formed environments to highly engineered spaces. These compiled insights and observations explore the vast diversity of ways in which sonic and spatial realms interact. This publication therefore forms important bridges between the intricate and diverse topic...
