DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2017.04.018
Abstract: Abstract Methods for correct quantitative comparison of several terrains are important in the development and use of quantitative landscape evolution models, and they need to introduce specific modeling parameters. We introduce such parameters and compare… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/land7040123
Abstract: Small protected areas dominate some databases and are common features of landscapes, yet their accumulated contributions to biodiversity conservation are not well known. Small areas may contribute to global biodiversity conservation through matrix habitat improvement,… read more here.

DOI: 10.5705/ss.2014.200t
Abstract: Population forecasts for small areas within a country are an important planning tool. Standard methods for forecasting demographic rates do not, however, perform well with the noisy data that are typical of small areas. We… read more here.
