Abstract:

The article deals with the historical aspects and current trends in nature conservation and landscape protection in the Czech Republic. The internal structure of this branch is described as are some societal and economic contexts. The legal framework of environmental protection and basic legal terms are mentioned. The current trends are shown on four sub-branches: protection of species, protection of dispersed greenery, regional protection, and geological protection. The analysis of concrete data allows to judge the state environmental policy and its negative and positive impacts on the nature conservation and landscape protection.

Abstract:

The European Landscape Convention (ELC) emphasises that the public should be extensively involved in the processes of landscape protection, planning and management. In spite of the emerging interest in the relationship between animals and landscapes in the study of animal geography, little is known about the influence of the landscape-animal component on public aspirations and the values attributed to landscape. We conducted a survey in the form of an image-based questionnaire in order to evaluate the influence of certain animal species, in this case livestock, on landscape preferences. The results show that all grazing animals have a positive impact on landscape preferences, although some species seem more popular than others. The preference for scenes with animals decreases, however, when compared with scenes with other landscape features (vegetation, traditional buildings or water). Significant differences in preferences for scenes with animals were observed according to certain sociodemographic variables such as gender, familiarity with the landscape and direct involvement in livestock farming. Of the groups surveyed, livestock farmers showed the strongest preferences for the scenes with animals. The findings of this study can be applied within the citizen participation policies encouraged by the ELC, as well as in the protection, management and planning of rural landscapes in which livestock is an appreciable feature.

Abstract:

Understanding patterns in the distribution and abundance of wildlife across the landscape can aid in identifying the relative importance of habitats for biodiversity conservation. We aimed to identify whether riparian habitats were more important than other areas in the landscape to small terrestrial vertebrates. The study site was surveyed using 450 pit traps distributed across riparian, midslope and ridge top habitat. Riparian sites had the greatest abundance of small vertebrates of the three habitats. During some months of the year, there was a significant difference in the composition of the faunal assemblage between habitats. Unsurprisingly, riparian habitats were particularly important for frog species and it was these species that accounted for the greater abundance in this habitat. Riparian habitat was less important for other taxonomic groups and the more floristically rich midslope and ridge habitats, which had a greater abundance of leaf litter, fallen logs and rock cover, were favoured by mammal and reptile species. The conservation of riparian sites, without the protection of other habitats, overlooks a substantial proportion of the biodiversity in the landscape. This study may help inform management decisions in the Upper Warren region and other similar forested landscapes, regarding the location and timing of fauna monitoring and the frequency of fuel reduction burns.

Abstract:

As species’ ranges shift to track climate change, conservationists increasingly recognize the need to consider connectivity when designating protected areas (PAs). In fragmented landscapes, some habitat patches are more important than others in maintaining connectivity, and methods are needed for their identification. Here, using the Condatis methodology, we model range expansion through an adaptation of circuit theory. Specifically, we map ‘flow’ through 16 conservation priority habitat networks in England, quantifying how patches contribute to functional South–North connectivity. We also explore how much additional connectivity could be protected via a connectivity-led protection procedure. We find high-flow patches are often left out of existing PAs; across 12 of 16 habitat networks, connectivity protection falls short of area protection by 13.6% on average. We conclude that the legacy of past protection decisions has left habitat-specialist species vulnerable to climate change. This situation may be mirrored in many countries which have similar habitat protection principles. Addressing this requires specific planning tools that can account for the directions species may shift. Our connectivity-led reserve selection procedure efficiently identifies additional PAs that prioritize connectivity, protecting a median of 40.9% more connectivity in these landscapes with just a 10% increase in area.

Abstract:

New Zealand, like many other countries, is troubled by introduced animal and plant species which attack, damage, or displace indigenous species. Considerable amounts of taxpayer funds are spent each year attempting to combat these invasive species and some research has been conducted into the "cost effectiveness" and the efficiency of various conservation activities. Research into the cost effectiveness of biodiversity protection projects is hindered by the absence of satisfactory measures of output. A new output measure, Conservation Output Protection Years (COPY) is proposed for use in a cost utility evaluation of biodiversity protection projects. This paper outlines this approach and reports on the use of COPY in evaluation of six New Zealand biodiversity protection projects. The paper demonstrates that COPY provides a practical output measure, and reports on the comparative output per dollar spent on each biodiversity protection project.

Abstract:

Abstract Forest and agricultural landscapes are vital in relation to biodiversity. Protection policies in such areas should include incentives to enable the common landuse practices. Conservation cannot be addressed in the short term because these landscapes have evolved as socio-ecological systems and provide optimal conditions for biodiversity maintenance. They occur in areas where agriculture has not changed significantly as in the eastern Galician mountains. The landscape dynamics has been shaped by human involvement during centuries. We analyzed how the landscape has evolved according to environmental, socioeconomic and historical changes with the aim of proposing actions for its conservation. The study focused on the recovery of natural hardwood forests which have been intensively exploited since ancient times. Over the past few centuries, these forests have been transformed to agricultural land, felled for use in the naval, metallurgical and railway industries, expropriated from the Church, and affected by wildfire; more recently, have been replaced by fast growing species. Today, broadleaved forests cover small areas of rugged land where the topography often precludes other land uses. In conclusion, although the landscape in the study area has undergone a major transformation, now this land is a priority for biodiversity conservation.

Abstract:

The distribution of protected plant species was analyzed on the basis of the landscape approach for the first time in the Maximov’s Dacha Nature Park (Sevastopol, Crimea). The territory of the Nature Park is characterized by high biological and landscape diversity. Thirty-eight species of vascular plants included in various Red Lists of Threatened Species and nature conservation conventions are registered in the Park. Five endemic species of Crimea are identified there. It is noted that the largest number of protected plant species belong to the families Orchidaceae, Poaceae, and Iridaceae. A landscape map was made at the level of terrain types. It is revealed that the modern landscapes of the Nature Park were formed under the influence of natural and anthropogenic processes. It is shown that the number and species composition of protected plants differ in the selected landscape complexes due to natural features and the degree of anthropogenic transformation. Description of the locations of protected plant species in the Maximov’s Dacha Nature Park enables providing long-term species observation in condition of nature protection regime. The obtained data can be used for optimization of environmental management and functional zoning of the Nature Park.

Abstract:

AbstractA main concern of farmers worldwide is how to reduce crop losses to wildlife. Some potentially lethal crop protection methods are non-selective. It is important to understand the impact of such methods on species of conservation concern. Uganda has important populations of Endangered eastern chimpanzees Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii. Farmers sometimes use large metal mantraps to guard their fields against crop-raiding wildlife, particularly baboons Papio anubis and wild pigs Potamochoerus sp.. Chimpanzees that range onto farmland also step in these illegal devices and without rapid veterinary invention face severe injury or eventual death. Unlike inadvertent snaring of great apes in African forests, the problem of mantraps in forest–farm ecotones has received little attention. We report 10 cases of entrapped chimpanzees in the cultivated landscape surrounding Uganda's Budongo Forest during 2007–2011, undoubtedly only a portion of the actual number of cases. Mantraps currently present a substantial threat to ape populations in this important conservation landscape. Our data underscore the need for conservation programmes to consider the techniques used by rural farmers to protect their livelihoods from wild animals.

Abstract:

Context: Understanding spatial patterns of biodiversity and species’ distributions is important for scientific theory, and for conservation and management of the natural world. Climatic variables are widely recognised as strong correlates of species richness over large spatial extents. Correlates of species richness at smaller extents (regional and landscape scales) are less well established, but environmental heterogeneity is widely thought to be important. A large number of environmental heterogeneity measures have been used, but in particular there is a growing interest in ‘geodiversity’, which I define here as the diversity of abiotic terrestrial and hydrological nature, comprising earth surface materials and landforms. Recent research has emphasised both geodiversity’s inherent value and its potential as a correlate and predictor of spatial biodiversity and species’ distribution patterns. However, despite this clear potential of geodiversity for improving our understanding of how patterns of life relate to environmental heterogeneity, its incorporation into biodiversity and species’ distribution modelling is substantially underdeveloped. In this thesis, using a macroecological approach I begin to address some of these knowledge gaps by analysing the relationships between geodiversity data, and its constituent ‘geofeatures’, and species richness and distributions for multiple taxa and across several scales (grain size and extent) and geographic locations. My main aims in this thesis are to more fully evaluate geodiversity itself, and improve our understanding of its role with respect to the spatial patterning of biodiversity, both conceptually and empirically. Locations and Spatial Scales Analyses were carried out within and across Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) and Finland. The order of the four quantitative papers generally reflects the largest spatial extent (i.e. size of the study area) at which they were conducted, from national (PAPERS II and III) through landscape (PAPER IV), to the local scale (vegetation plots within a small upland river catchment; PAPER V). PAPER II is a study across several spatial extents (from landscape to national) and uses two grain sizes (1 km2 and 100 km2). PAPER I is a review paper that considers multiple scales and geographic locations conceptually. Time period Present day: data were from between 1995 and 2016 across all of the quantitative studies. Taxa Multiple: alien and native vascular plants across Great Britain (PAPER II); threatened bryophytes, beetles, fungi, lepidoptera, lichens, mammals, molluscs, and vascular plants across Finland (PAPER III); common and rare vascular plants across the Cairngorms, Scotland (PAPER IV); angiosperms, conifers, fungi, lichens, liverworts, lycophytes, mosses, and pteridophytes (and productivity) across an upland river catchment within the Cairngorms (PAPER V); and conceptual consideration of multiple taxa (PAPER I). Methods: For studies in Great Britain, plant data were provided by the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) for PAPERS II and IV, and by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) for PAPER V. The threatened species data in Finland were from Finnish Environment Institute (PAPER II). Species richness (PAPERS II, III, and IV), rarity-weighted richness (RWR; PAPER III), species’ distributions (PAPERS IV and V), and productivity (measured using NDVI from colour infrared aerial imagery; PAPER V) were all analysed using Boosted Regression Tree (BRT) modelling, allowing comparisons between studies. For geodiversity data in the British studies, I compiled geodiversity data on landforms, soils, hydrological and geological features using existing national datasets (e.g. British Geological Survey), and used a geomorphometric method to extract landform coverage data (landforms included: hollows, ridges, valleys, and peaks). These data were analysed alongside environmental data, which varied between papers, relating to climate, standard topography (e.g. slope; elevation), land use, and human population. The sources of other geodiversity data in Finland, and environmental data on topography and climate, came from a variety of sources, which are detailed within each paper. Results: Geodiversity improved biodiversity and species’ distribution models throughout all of the quantitative analyses and generally declined in importance as spatial scale coarsened beyond the landscape scale. At most spatial scales and in most places, the roles of climate and/or coarse topography dominated, and geodiversity played a relatively small role, as was expected. Geodiversity, however, made consistent positive contributions to the models independently of traditionally used topographic metrics such as standard deviation of elevation and slope. Taxonomically, geodiversity: (i) was slightly more relevant for native vascular plants than alien in Great Britain (PAPER II); (ii) of similar relevance to common and rare vascular plants in the Scottish Highlands, except that the coverage of soil parent material was especially important for rare species’ distributions (PAPER IV); of similar relevance to most sessile taxa (angiosperms, fungi, mosses, liverworts, lichens, pteridophytes, and lycophytes; conifers were not related to geodiversity) in an upland Scottish river catchment (PAPER V); and more important for threatened vascular plants and bryophytes over other studied taxa in Finland (PAPER II). Geodiversity also improved models of productivity, and the variability in productivity, in PAPER V. Main conclusions and Future Directions: Geodiversity improves our understanding of, and ability to model, the relationship between biodiversity and environmental heterogeneity at multiple spatial scales, by allowing us to get closer to the real-world conditions and processes that affect life. I found that the greatest benefit comes from measuring ‘geofeatures’, which describe the constituent parts of geodiversity separately, rather than as one combined variable. Automatically extracted landform data, the use of which is novel in ecology, biogeography and macroecology, proved particularly valuable throughout this body of work, and as too did data from expert geological and hydrological maps. The idea of ‘Conserving Nature’s Stage’ (CNS), and identifying areas that are most capable of supporting high biodiversity into the future, the benefits and caveats of which are discussed in this thesis, has recently emerged. It requires a sound empirical and conceptual basis, to which my research contributes. In this thesis, I have gone some way towards demonstrating the conceptual and empirical value of incorporating geodiversity into ecological analyses across multiple spatial scales, paving the way for this recent approach to be more extensively used for theoretical and applied purposes. I accomplished this by carrying out an assessment of existing geodiversity literature and, importantly, looking forwards to consider the prospects of geodiversity within ecology (PAPER I), supported by four quantitative studies. The conservation significance is emphasised in PAPER III. Much remains to be done, however, and future research directions are detailed in PAPER I. We need to develop predictive models to test the role of geodiversity across an array of geographical and taxonomic domains, as well as to assess metrics beyond species richness and species’ distributions. One example may involve beta diversity: does spatial turnover in species relate to spatial turnover in geofeatures? Fully analysing the role of geodiversity through time will also be important, including in relation to refugia, given predicted environmental changes in climate. In progressing with this line of enquiry, we will improve our knowledge and understanding of patterns of life on Earth and, specifically, how the geophysical landscape helps shape them.

Abstract:

Conservation strategies are mainly focused on species existing in an environment shaped by natural and anthropogenic pressures. Yet, evidence shows that climate is changing faster than ever and expected to continue to change in the near future, which can be devastating for plants with restricted ranges. Turkey harbors many endemic species that might be affected from these changes. However, available data is scarce and biased, complicating the anticipation of future changes. Aim of this study is to improve our understanding of endemic species distributions and forecasting effects of climate change via species distribution modelling (SDM). The study is based on two Anatolian (Crocus ancyrensis and Crataegus tanacetifolia) and two Ankara (Salvia aytachii and Centaurea tchihatcheffii) endemics. Independent presence and absence data (ranging between 19-68 and 38-61, respectively) for each species was collected through fieldwork in and around the Upper Sakarya Basin in 2008 and 2009. With the software Maxent, SDMs were performed by using 8 least correlated environmental features and random presence records (of which 25% were used for confusion matrix). SDMs for current distributions of C. ancyrensis, C. tchihatcheffii and C. tanacetifolia were reliable enough for future extrapolations despite errors originating from scale, non-equilibrium status and biotic interactions, respectively. The model for S. aytachii failed due to absence of limiting factor (soil type) in the model. Future projections of those three species modelled using CCCMA-CGCM2 and HADCM3 climate models indicated three possible responses to climate change: (1) Extinction, especially for habitat specialists
(2) Range expansion, especially for generalist species
and (3) Range contradiction, especially for Euro-Siberian mountainous species. Species modelling can be used to understand possible responses of plant species to climate change in Turkey. Modelling techniques should to be improved, however, especially by integrating other parameters such as biotic interactions and through a better understanding of uncertainties.

Abstract:

Habitat modification alters species' capacities to track shifting climatic conditions. Broad-scale analyses that explore demographical responses to on-going climate change tend to neglect the influence of the underlying landscape pattern. However, many landscapes are fragmented by human activities, which might make dispersal for many species more challenging. Determining the extent to which landscape factors affect broad-scale distributional patterns has implications for our ability to predict realistic climate change impacts on species. Here, we constructed species-specific measurements of landscape permeability for 96 butterfly species in southern Ontario to test whether this landscape characteristic affected species' distributions at macroecological scales. We used multiple logistic regression models to test for the effects of permeability and its interaction with temperature on butterfly species presence/absence. We found that 48% of butterfly species responded to landscape permeability alone or in interaction with temperature. In general, the effect was positive (87%) and species were more likely to be present with increasing landscape permeability. For 61% of the species that responded to broad-scale landscape permeability, the interaction of temperature with permeability was statistically significant. In warm areas, species were more likely to be present if landscape permeability was high. Landscape permeability explained 3-43% of residual variability in species' presences after accounting for temperature. Finally, we show how fine-scale permeability measurements can be combined with large-scale patterns of diversity to inform conservation efforts. Landscape permeability can affect species' distributions at broad-scales and understanding factors that potentially influence species' dispersal can improve predictions for how species respond to changing climatic conditions.

Abstract:

Cheboksary reservoir impact to the coast is manifested in the geophysical impact associated with abrasion activities. Geomorphological area of influence at the moment reaches a width of about 40 m, where are the coasts reformation (erosion, collapse, slumping, sliding, transfer or accumulation of sediments, waterlogged processes). Hydrogeological impact is effect on the level of groundwater. We have proposed the conceptual foundations of functional zoning of the reservoir banks that will help to optimize its operation. Selection zones came in accordance with the principles of landscape planning: 1. The zone of strict water protection: the main purpose – preservation of needing special protection areas. 2. The zone of moderate restrictions: preservation extensively used landscapes. 3. The zone of partial restrictions: improving the pre-emptive particularly vulnerable areas and changing intensity or type of use. 4. The zone of conservation of natural components in agricultural landscapes: ensuring health of the natural environment in the habitats used in agricultural economy. 5. The zone of preservation of vacant space and the natural environment in the settlements: to maintain the required quantity and quality of available green space in the large towns. 6. The zone of improving heavily used areas: elimination of harmful stress and environmental sanitation in the countryside where economic activities and the lack of measures to reduce their risks lead to degradation natural system.

Abstract:

Models capturing parameterized random walks on graphs have been widely adopted in wildlife conservation to study species dispersal as a function of landscape features. Learning the probabilistic model empowers ecologists to understand animal responses to conservation strategies. By exploiting the connection between random walks and simple electric networks, we show that learning a random walk model can be reduced to finding the optimal graph Laplacian for a circuit. We propose a moment matching strategy that correlates the model’s hitting and commuting times with those observed empirically. To find the best Laplacian, we propose a neural network capable of back-propagating gradients through the matrix inverse in an end-to-end fashion. We developed a scalable method called CGInv which back-propagates the gradients through a neural network encoding each layer as a conjugate gradient iteration. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we apply our computational framework to applications in landscape connectivity modeling. Our experiments successfully demonstrate that our framework effectively and efficiently recovers the ground-truth configurations.

Abstract:

Given the growing relevance, at national and international levels, of restoration and conservation interventions on existing buildings, the Universities have developed degree courses with specific addresses in “Conservation of Architectural and Environmental Heritage”. The students that attend this course become a graduate with specific, extensive, and updated skills in the field of knowledge, protection, conservation, reuse, and enhancement of architectural and environmental heritage. The complexity of the intervention is faced through the contribution of the various disciplines that contribute to the training of the architect, at the same time they studied modern instruments and tools for collecting and managing data, from on-field survey to sharing projects and ideas. The goal is to learn to manage, in its entirety, the project and the range of possible interventions with deep conservative sensitivity, with skills ranging from maintenance to restoration and redevelopment, both in the dimension of the single building and at the urban and landscape scale.

Abstract:

Approaches to improving environmental protection in Siberia and the Altai Krai are considered. The paper substantiates the proposal to create a regional (Siberian) network (system) of specially protected areas using an ecological framework approach; the need to form a unified methodological base on the principles of forming regional networks (systems) of protected areas; about the development of a protected area Scheme in the Altai Krai based on modern environmental concepts and approaches: continuity of conservation, landscape approach.

Abstract:

The approach presented here demonstrates an energized system that provides cathodic protection and biofouling control that could eliminate anti-fouling hull coatings. Results from immersion panel testing of a variety of electrocatalyst materials and a small-scale Jon boat prototype – as well as experimental measurements of the electrocatalyst material efficiencies and models of oxidant concentrations – were used to design a 1/8-scale prototype installed on a 64 foot Navy research vessel based out of Panama City, Florida. The prototype design was carried out through computational modeling to solve a system of partial differential equations describing the coupling of electric current conservation and mass and electric species transport. The prototype underwent exposure testing for eight months. Regular diver surveys and system data collection monitored the system's effectiveness at maintaining the hull potential and keeping the hull free of biofouling.

Full text

Abstract:

This special report summarizes the regional workshop held 24–26 April 2018 at the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Ecological Services Office in Carlsbad, California on the importance of collaboration among federal, state, and nongovernmental agencies to facilitate the recovery of threatened and endangered species (TES). This workshop focused primarily on one species, the least Bell’s vireo (LBVI), and how to achieve full recovery and eventual delisting through agency partnerships. A major theme of the workshop was applying the Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7(a)(1) conservation planning process as a building block towards recovery of LBVI—as well as other threatened, endangered, and at-risk riparian species within the Southwest. The main objective of this workshop was to assemble an interagency and interdisciplinary group of wildlife biologists and managers to detail how the Section 7(a)(1) conservation planning approach, in consultation with the USFWS, can assist in the recovery of LBVI primarily on federal lands but also other public and private lands. Goals of this workshop were to (1) review Section 7(a)(1); (2) outline LBVI ecosystem processes, life history, threats, and conservation solutions; and (3) develop and organize agency commitments to collaborative conservation practices.

Oden, Rikki. Effectiveness of Focused Water Conservation Messaging in the Clackamas River, OR. Portland State University, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.15760/mem.67.

Full text

Abstract:

The Clackamas River in Oregon is a drinking water source for upwards of 300,000 people living in the Portland metro region. This river experiences seasonal low flow during the annual dry season throughout summer and early fall when endangered salmon species return to the river to spawn. This dry season also coincides with the highest period of urban water use. Since precipitation is minimal at this time, water users choose to water their lawns to make up for the lack of rain which contributes to water use tripling during the driest part of the year. To promote local water conservation, the Clackamas River Water Providers (CRWP)—who manage source water protection and public outreach and education around watershed issues, drinking water, and water conservation for the eight water providers on the river—have created a water conservation campaign that they intend to promote each dry season for the next several years. First promoted during the dry season of 2019, the messaging focuses on the flow needs of endangered salmon and asks water users to cease outdoor watering altogether. Through focus group discussion and a survey of water users, this research investigates public perception and opinion of the CRWP’s summer water conservation messaging campaign with the goal of improving the effectiveness of the messaging in future dry seasons.

Abstract:

The beneficial use of dredged materials improves environmental outcomes while maximizing navigation benefits and minimizing costs, in accordance with the principles of the Engineering With Nature® (EWN) initiative. Yet, few studies document the long-term benefits of innovative dredged material management strategies or conduct comprehensive life-cycle analysis because of a combination of (1) short monitoring time frames and (2) the paucity of constructed projects that have reached ecological maturity. In response, we conducted an ecological functional and engineering benefit assessment of six historic (>40 years old) dredged material–supported habitat improvement projects where initial postconstruction beneficial use monitoring data was available. Conditions at natural reference locations were also documented to facilitate a comparison between natural and engineered landscape features. Results indicate the projects examined provide valuable habitat for a variety of species in addition to yielding a number of engineering (for example, shoreline protection) and other (for example, carbon storage) benefits. Our findings also suggest establishment of ecological success criteria should not overemphasize replicating reference conditions but remain focused on achieving specific ecological functions (that is, habitat and biogeochemical cycling) and engineering benefits (that is, storm surge reduction, navigation channel maintenance) achievable through project design and operational management.
