Integrating ecology with human demography, behavior, and socioeconomics: Needs and approaches
Published on January 1, 2001
This paper discusses an urgent need to integrate ecology with human demography, behavior, and socioeconomics in order to understand and manage ecological patterns and processes. -
Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Endangered Species Hotspots in the United States
Published on July 7, 2000
A study on the spatial and temporal dynamics of endangered species hotspots in the united states. -
Community structure analysis of giant panda habitat in Wolong
Published on May 1, 2000
Giant panda inhabits the cool temperate and subalpine forest in Wolong, China. -
Studying Wildlife at Local and Landscape Scales: Bachman's Sparrows at the Savannah River Site
Published on January 1, 2000
These studies are summarized, and the value of the research to both management and research interests is discussed. -
White-tailed Deer Management Options Model (DeerMOM): Design, Quantification, and Application
Published on June 15, 1999
In this model, we grouped deer into three age classes: fawn, yearling, and adult. Reproductive rates and fetal sex ratios were age-specific, while natural and harvest mortality rates were both age- and sex-specific. -
Changes in Human Population Structure: Implications for Biodiversity Conservation
Published on April 29, 1999
Human population size and growth have been recognized as important factors affecting biodiversity, but the impacts of population structural changes on biodiversity are not clear. -
Framework for Evaluating the Effects of Human Factors on Wildlife Habitat: the Case of Giant Pandas
Published on March 24, 1999
To address the complex interactions between humans and wildlife habitat, we developed a conceptual framework that links human factors with forested landscapes and wildlife habitat. -
Spatial and Temporal Impacts of Adjacent Areas on the Dynamics of Species Diversity in a Primary Forest
Published on January 1, 1999
A study on spatial and temporal impacts of adjacent areas on the dynamics of species diversity in a primary forest. -
A Global Programme in Interdisciplinary Forest Research: The CTFS Perspective
Published on March 31, 1998
A research aimed at furthering an understanding of tropical forests and at translating biological and socio-economic research into results relevant to forest management, economics and policy. -
Stimulating Effects of Landscape Context and Timber Harvest on Tree Species Diversity
Published on March 9, 1998
A study on stimulating Effects of Landscape Context and Timber Harvest on Tree Species Diversity. -
FORMOSAIC: An Individual-Based Spatially Explicit Model for Simulating Forest Dynamics in Landscape Mosaics
Published on October 24, 1997
We developed a landscape model that explicitly considers not only the dynamics of a focal forest but also ecological impacts of adjacent areas on the focal forest. -
Individual-based simulation models for forest succession and management
Published on September 28, 1994
This paper attempts to review and compare two major types of individual-based forest models: growth-yield and gap models. -
Linking contemporary vegetation models and spatially explicit animal population models
Published on April 18, 1994
A study on linking contemporary vegetation models and spatially explicit animal population models. -
Usefulness of spatially explicit animal models in land management
Published on March 22, 1994
Nature resource managers today are faced with new challenges that differ from your previous ones in both their emphasis and scope -
Modeling animal populations in changing landscapes
Published on January 1, 1994
Models of Mobile Animal Populations (MAP models) simulate long-term land use changes, population trends and patterns of biological diversity on landscapes of lo3-lo5 ha -
Ecological and economic effects of forest landscape structure and rotation length: simulation studies using ECOLECON
Published on September 18, 1993
ECOLECON is a spatially-explicit, object-oriented computer simulation model that simulates animal population dynamics and economic yield from timber harvests based on forest landscape structure and timber management schemes. -
Discounting initial population sizes for predicting extinction probabilities in patchy environments
Published on December 11, 1992
Extinction is a major concern in conscrvation. A most urgent need is to predict the relationship of a population's initial size to its probability of extinction. -
ECOLECON: A spatially-explicit model for ECOLogical-ECONomics of species conservation in complex forest landscapes
Published on December 3, 1992
An ECOLogical-ECONomic model (ECOLECON) has been developed to simulate animal population dynamics and economic revenues in response to different forest landscape structure and timber management scenarios. -
Population dynamics in complex landscapes: a case study
Published on August 12, 1991
The abundance and distribution of natural populations can be strongly influences by the types and arrangements of habitat patches within a landscape. -
ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY - Unraveling human drivers behind complex interrelationships among sustainable development goals: a demonstration in Wolong Nature Reserve
This research applies new methods to show how people's everyday lives can have significant global consequences when establishing policies to achieve sustainability.
