Trade-offs or synergies?: assessment of ecosystem services in multi-use small reservoirs in Burkina Faso [Abstract only] por Balana, Bedru

“…The multiple non-irrigation uses/benefits and potential negative externalities were largely neglected in the measurement of their performance. The publication of Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in 2005 triggered the concept of ‘ecosystem services’ and prompted both academia and policy decisions to consider multiple effects/impacts of human activities on natural capital, ecosystem services, and human wellbeing. …”

Motion asymmetry in Swedish riding school horses por Jobusch, Michelle

“…Lameness metrics; HDmin, HDmax, PDmin, and PDmax were extracted from each horse’s asymmetry measurement. A representation of the horse’s total amount of motion asymmetry was calculated by adding these four values together from each measurement occasion and then a mean value from all measurement occasions was calculated. …”

Comparison of extrapolation and interpolation methods for estimating daily photo synthetically active radiation (PAR): A case study of the Poyang Lake national nature reserve, Chin... por Wu, Guofeng, Leeuw, Jan de, Skidmore, Andrew K., Liu, Yaolin, Prins, H.H.T.

“…Two extrapolation methods of PARs using recorded and estimated global solar radiation at Nanchang station and three stations (Yongxiu, Xingzi and Duchang) near the nature reserve were carried out, respectively, and a spatial interpolation method combining triangulated irregular network (TIN) and inverse distance weighting (IDW) was implemented to estimate daily PAR. The performance evaluation of the three methods using the PARs measured at Dahuchi Conservation Station (day number of measurement = 105 days) revealed that: (1) the spatial interpolation method achieved the best PAR estimation (R 2 = 0.89, s.e. = 0.99, F = 830.02, P < 0.001); (2) the extrapolation method from Nanchang station obtained an unbiased result (R 2 = 0.88, s.e. = 0.99, F = 745.29, P < 0.001); however, (3) the extrapolation methods from Yongxiu, Xingzi and Duchang stations were not suitable for this specific site for their biased estimations. …”
