Predicting nutrient and sediment loadings to streams from landscape metrics: A multiple watershed study from the United States Mid-Atlantic Region
K. Bruce Jones,Anne C. Neale,Malisha S. Nash,Rick D. Van Remortel,James D. Wickham,Kurt H. Riitters,Robert V. O'Neill +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of landscape metrics generated from readily available, spatial data to predict nutrient and sediment yield to streams in the Mid-Atlantic Region in the United States was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fragmentation of Continental United States Forests
Kurt H. Riitters,James D. Wickham,Robert V. O'Neill,K. Bruce Jones,Elizabeth R. Smith,John W. Coulston,Timothy G. Wade,Jonathan Smith +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a multiple-scale analysis of forest fragmentation based on 30m (0.09 ha pixel 1 ) landcover maps for the conterminous United States is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution and Causes of Global Forest Fragmentation
TL;DR: Using 1-km advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) satellite-based land cover, a method to separate forest fragmentation into natural and anthropogenic components is presented, and results for all inhabited continents summarized by World Wildlife Fund biomes are reported.
BookDOI
Scaling and uncertainty analysis in ecology : methods and applications
TL;DR: Wu et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a framework and methods for simplifying complex landscapes to reduce uncertainty in predictions, and assessed the influence of spatial scale on the relationship between avian nesting success and forest fragmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring environmental quality at the landscape scale
Robert V. O'Neill,Carolyn T. Hunsaker,K. Bruce Jones,Kurt H. Riitters,James D. Wickham,Paul M. Schwartz,Iris A. Goodman,Barbara L. Jackson,William S. Baillargeon +8 more
TL;DR: Ethical stewardship of the environment requires that society monitor and assess environmental changes at the national scale with a view toward the conservation and wise management of the authors' natural resources.
