With this paper, we present exemplary results of the Topoi A-6-6 Project „The economic landscape of the Hellenistic, Roman and Late Antique Bithynia. Iznik intensive survey project“ (2013–2016), focusing on the hinterland of Nikaia/Nicaea/Iznik during the Hellenistic, R...

With growing populations and climate change, assuring food and nutrition security is an increasingly challenging task. Climate smart and sustainable agriculture, that is, conceiving agriculture to be resistant and resilient to a changing climate while keeping it viable ...

The coastal strip of the western peri-urban area of Barranquilla in the Atlántico Department (Colombia) is experiencing changes in human-environment interactions through infrastructure, residential, and tourism projects in a vulnerable landscape. In the hilly area, frag...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities are now known to vary with depth in arable land. Here we use two previously published high-throughput Illumina sequencing data sets, and compare a 52 year long chronosequence of recultivated agriculture fields after a topso...

TEYL has taken on a new dimension recently, as it has become an issue of paramount importance. Indeed, it has become integrated in many university curricula and discussed in several academic institutions and circles. It should be noted, in this regard, that new technolo...

Our aim with this paper is to present a novel approach for developing story lines and scenarios by combining qualitative knowledge and quantitative data from different disciplines and discussing the results with relevant decision makers. This research strategy offers a ...

Analyzing temporal series of satellite data for regional scale studies demand high accuracy in calibration and precise geo-rectification at higher spatial resolution. The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensor aboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric...

Vegetation productivity is an essential variable in ecosystem functioning. Vegetation dynamics of dryland ecosystems are most strongly determined by water availability and consequently by rainfall and there is a need to better understand how water limited ecosystems res...

Images of the Earth at night are an exceptional source of human geographical data, because artificial light highlights human activity in a way that daytime scenes do not. The quality of such imagery dramatically improved in 2012 with two new spaceborne detectors. The hi...
