Foredune trough blowouts are elongated wind-eroded depressions in the most seaward
dune and their adjoining depositional lobes. Despite their importance to the sand budget …

Intercropping switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) with pine can increase bioenergy feedstock
production without land opportunity costs but can potentially alter water budgets. Measuring …

Remotely sensed images including LANDSAT, SPOT, NAIP orthoimagery, and LiDAR and
relevant processing tools can be used to predict plant stomatal conductance (gs), leaf area …

Rangelands cover half of the earth's land surface. Therefore, play an important role in global
environmental functioning, deliver several ecosystem services and are important in the …

Estonian coastal wetlands are of international importance as they support characteristic
biological diversity. Their limited extent and distribution mean that these wetlands are of high …

Landscape ecology is the basis of this thesis, of which the primary subject is the
classification of landscape pattern and process. Motive for this study is the necessity to better …

The coastal zone, the interface between land and sea, faces much pressure from human
activities. These coastal pressures make it difficult for the coastal zones to fulfil their natural …

Remote sensing has increasingly been used to estimate evapotranspiration (ET) and its
supporting parameters in a rapid, accurate, and cost-effective manner. The goal of this study …

Coastal ecosystems are considered to be sensitive to changes in environmental forcing,
particularly sea-level rise. Saltmarshes occupy a discrete lateral and vertical position that is …

Vegetation growth on coastal foredunes, enhanced by traditional coastal dune
management, made the foredunes an artificial wall between the aeolian dynamics of the …
