Even under the most optimistic scenarios, during the next century human‐caused climate
change will threaten many wild populations and species. The most useful conservation …

This article provides an ontological as well as methodological evaluation of recent progress
in terrain analysis. It focuses on six topographic factors, or existences, that are important in …

There has been an increasing use of predictive spatial distribution of main communities or
dominant species at the landscape scale for ecological restoration planning, biodiversity …

This paper addresses a few issues that are fundamental for the understanding of vegetation–
topography relations: scale dependency, seasonal variability, and importance of observing …

Investigation of forest canopy density has become an important tool for proper management
of natural resources. Vegetation cover density can identify the exact forest gaps within a …

Terrain as a continuum can be categorized into landform units that exhibit common physical
and morphological characteristics of land surface which may serve as a boundary condition …

The study aimed at assessing multi-scale correlation between vegetation characteristics and
topographic parameters in Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), Bangladesh. Traditional shifting …
