TERN Australia

The document discusses the history and objectives of the Atlas of Australian Birds project. It began in 1977 to map species distributions and now aims to track population changes and engage communities in biodiversity monitoring. Data is collected through area searches, incidental sightings, and fixed-route surveys, with an increasing focus on repeated, standardized surveys. Key challenges include maintaining engagement and promoting fixed-site monitoring. Resources are needed to further the atlas's role in monitoring, research, and contributing to national reporting.

This document discusses alternatives to the current practice of using plastic bags to dispose of dog waste at dog parks. It proposes 4 alternatives: 1) on-site composting of waste, 2) using compostable bags, 3) creating a service that provides reusable/recycled bags and collects waste, and 4) educating users on impacts to encourage better choices. Each alternative is analyzed in terms of design buyers and users, materials and processes used, waste disposal, and lifecycles compared to current plastic bag usage. The goal is to reduce plastic waste and environmental impacts.

Kaley Donovan's MS thesis research studied songbird conservation on public forestland in Southeast Ohio. The research aimed to understand how birds respond to habitat conditions at multiple scales by sampling across a broad extent and identifying the relative influence of landscape and local features on bird species' occurrence. Birds were surveyed at 280 locations across three state forests in 2015 and 2016. Comprehensive habitat models were developed for five focal species using occurrence data, vegetation data, and remotely sensed landscape variables. The findings provide essential information for conservation planning at the landscape level within the state forests by supporting the provision of a mosaic of conditions to optimize habitat for various forest songbirds.

- The study examined the relationship between white-tailed deer browsing intensity and proximity to roads and trails at four sites on the Huyck Preserve. - Deer browsing intensity increased with distance from roads, suggesting roads reduce browsing by increasing perceptions of predation risk. However, browsing did not differ with distance from trails. - Foliage coverage declined with increasing distance from both roads and trails. Near roads, higher browsing levels were correlated with lower foliage coverage. - The results indicate roads impact deer browsing behaviors and interior forest regeneration, but trails do not appear to influence deer or have negative effects on vegetation.

TERN Australia

This document describes mapping ecological facets across Australia by analyzing the key drivers of ecosystem formation - macroclimate, lithology, landform, and vegetation structural formations. 59 homogeneous bioclimatic regions were mapped based on clustering uncorrelated bioclimatic variables. Lithology and weathering intensity were derived from existing Geoscience Australia data. Landform was characterized through land surface form and topographic moisture potential indicators. Combining these ecosystem drivers with vegetation structural formations data resulted in a continental dataset of 369,439 unique ecological facets at 90m resolution. This ecological facets mapping provides insight into biophysical variation across Australian ecosystems.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP

RAHUL

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade. The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization, population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different 'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the land. The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover. Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface, providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and diverse human activities. Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems 9 Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can occur natural.

6. To be more effective …. Better links with research, government agencies and other NGOs Broader support base Increased rigour and precision in investment Data requirements Climate data – interpolated models Remote sensing: productivity; refugia Distributional records / models Finely-resolved veg mapping and condition Better evaluation of strategy effectiveness Quicker uptake of new technologies

7. What TERN can do for BHA … Access to remote-sensing data and interpretation Access to species distributional data Rangelands reference site network Calibrate monitoring results Link in to national research networks (eg. ACEAS) End-user of research and data products Recognition amongst leading researchers

8. One good TERN deserves another… Provide security of tenure Variety of management regimes Spectrum of land systems and bioregions Nimble and responsive Popular, broad support Reference sites Study sites Calibration of remote-sensing data
