Landscape Fire, Biodiversity Decline and a Rapidly Changing Milieu: A Microcosm of Global Issues in an Australian Biodiversity Hotspot

Gill, A. Malcolm; McKenna, David J.; Wouters, Michael A. - In: Land 3 (2014) 3, pp. 1091-1136

The Adelaide-Mt Lofty Region of South Australia is an exemplar, in microcosm, of the issues confronting biodiversity conservation in a world of increasing population and a drying, fire-prone environment. At just 0.1% of Australia’s terrestrial land mass, this area is largely peninsular and...

Vertical Distribution of Soil Organic Carbon Density in Relation to Land Use/Cover, Altitude and Slope Aspect in the Eastern Himalayas

Dorji, Tshering; Odeh, Inakwu O. A.; Field, Damien J. - In: Land 3 (2014) 4, pp. 1232-1250

In-depth understanding about the vertical distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) density is crucial for carbon (C) accounting, C budgeting and designing appropriate C sequestration strategies. We examined the vertical distribution of SOC density under different land use/land cover (LULC)...

Translocation of Cd and Mn from Bark to Leaves in Willows on Contaminated Sediments: Delayed Budburst Is Related to High Mn Concentrations

Vandecasteele, Bart; Quataert, Paul; Piesschaert, Frederic - In: Land 4 (2015) 2, pp. 255-280

Changes in the hydrology of sediments in tidal marshes or landfills may affect the uptake of metals in the vegetation. Leaf and stem samples of <i>Salix cinerea</i> (grey sallow) were collected during four consecutive growing seasons at six contaminated plots on a polluted dredged sediment landfill and...

Agent-Based Models as “Interested Amateurs”

Johnson, Peter George - In: Land 4 (2015) 2, pp. 281-299

This paper proposes the use of agent-based models (ABMs) as “interested amateurs” in policy making, and uses the … “interested amateurs” in discussions between experts. In the context of land use policy debates, and policy making more generally … discussions between our experts: policy stakeholders. This is demonstrated using the SWAP (Soil and Water Conservation Adoption …
