The spatial and temporal dimensions of ecological phenomena have always been inherent in the conceptual framework of ecology, but only recently have they been incorporated explicitly into ecological theory, sampling design, experimental design and models. Statistical techniques for spatial analysis of ecological data are burgeoning and many ecologists are unfamiliar with what is available and how the techniques should be used correctly. This book gives an overview of the wide range of spatial statistics available to analyse ecological data, and provides advice and guidance for graduate students and practising researchers who are either about to embark on spatial analysis in ecological studies or who have started but are unsure how to proceed. Only a basic understanding of statistics is assumed and many schematic illustrations are given to complement or replace mathematical technicalities, making the book accessible to ecologists wishing to enter this important and fast-growing field for the first time.

""Exploring the Visual Landscape"" is about the combination of landscape research and planning, visual perception and Geographic Information Science. It showcases possible ways of getting a grip on themes like: landscape openness, cluttering of the rural landscape, high-rise buildings in relation to cityscape, historic landscapes and motorway panoramas. It offers clues for visual landscape assessment of spaces in cities, parks and rural areas. In that respect, it extends the long tradition in the Netherlands on physiognomic landscape research and shows the state of the art at this moment. ""Ex

Waar komen woorden zoals Gaals, Houdoe, troelieke, kierewiere, sebbedezeke, sjapsuker, of fluwijntjes vandaan? Wat is de link tussen het woord profetebees en het verhaal van Tijl Uilenspiegel? En wie is die Katelijnen waar we het scheldwoord kelleke aan te danken hebben? Dialectwoorden hebben vaak meer te vertellen dan je op het eerste gezicht zou denken! Van s'Hertogenbosch over Antwerpen tot Brussel, van Bergen op Zoom tot Tienen, van Noord-toto Vlaams-Brabnat: maak kennis met de rijke geschiedenis van de Brabantse Woordenschat. Reis mee door de tijd en achterhaal de verrassende herkomst van tal van woorden en uitdrukkingen uit het Brabantse dialect. Met een sterke Taalkundige achtergrond en uitgebreide bibliofgrafie. Na succesvolle edities over Vlaamse dialecten richt dr. FRANS DEBRABANDERE dit keer zijn pijlen op de Brabantse woordenschat. Als vooraanstaand taalkundige schreef bij al talloze lexicografische, etymologische en naamkundige werken. Voor zijn Oost-Vlaams en Zeeuw- Vlaams etymologisch woordenboek ontving hij in 2009 de Kruyskamp-prijs van de Maatschappij der Nederlandse Letterkunde.

Written primarily for researchers and advanced students in environmental and social sciences, this latest book in Springer’s Landscape Series looks at some of the emerging fields and new challenges in landscape research. These include: the role of value systems in perceiving, appreciating, and managing landscapes the ‘space’ and ‘place’ concept in landscape research GIS and remote sensing techniques for gathering and processing spatially and temporally explicit land cover, vegetation, and land use data methods of landscape history landscape genetics and genetic methods to test landscape connectivity and dispersal of plant and animal species palaeoclimatic research, with focus on tree ring based temperature reconstructions landscape patterns, processes and model up-scaling statistical methods for environmental time series and other observations Drawing on the expertise of an interdisciplinary team, the book provides a valuable reference for researchers in landscape ecology, landscape perception, conservation biology, ecological modeling, statistics in the environmental sciences and related fields.

The use of land changes over time as both natural and man-made environments are influenced by the pressures associated with the processes of development. The demand for land for new residential housing has been a huge challenge for governments striving to protect greenfield sites across Europe in recent years, whilst regeneration has been a common response to the decline of manufacturing in the old industrial heartlands. The variety of forces that drive change in the use of land are extensive and complex, including spatial planning policies designed at local, regional, national and supra-national levels. In order to understand the mechanisms of change and the impact of policies, the formulation, calibration and testing of models is required. Land-use change models help us to understand the complexities and interdependencies of the components that constitute spatial systems and can provide valuable insights into possible land-use configurations in the future. Models of land-use change incorporate a vast amount of knowledge from a wide range of disciplines. Geography contributes to the understanding of land-use change whilst demography and economics help explain underlying trends. Model building relies heavily on mathematics and (geographical) information systems, but also includes many elements from the softer sciences, such as management studies and environmental science. This book offers a cross-sectional overview of current research progress that allows the construction of successful land-use models. The contributions range from methodology and calibration to actual applications in studies of recent policy implementation and evaluation. The contributors originate from academic and applied research institutes around the world and thus offer an interesting mix of theory and practice in different case study contexts. This volume is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in the state-of-the-art of land-use modelling, its background and its application. In summary, land-use change simulation modelling is a relatively new and dynamic field of study and this book provides a full overview of the topic, a wide range of applications (both geographically and thematically), a mix of theory and practice, a synthesis of recent research progress, and educational material for students and teachers.
