integration across human-environment and urban subfields reflects broader bifurcations between social theory and spatial science traditions in geography.
On the bifurcation between human-environment and urban geography perspectives to urban sustainability.
We can identify room for improvement in including biogeography more directly in LULCC models. More focus is needed on feedbacks.
Need for greater focus on feedbacks.
Key connections between biogeography and human geography are being made through the study of LULCC. Much of the connection is via advancing geographical methodologies. Remote sensing has been the primary connection between biogeographers and LULCC human geographers, but simulation modeling (especially spatially explicit agent-based simulations; An, 2012An, L. (2012). Modeling human decisions in coupled human and natural systems: Review of agent-based models. Ecological Modelling, 229, 25–36. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]) is deepening the relationship.
On nascent connection between biogeography and human geographer via LULCC.
Biogeographers work primarily at three phenomenological scales – individual species, communities of multiple species, and biodiversity – which also create a hierarchy of abstraction
Hierarchy of abstraction in biogeography.
The dynamics of species in space could be one definition of biogeography, and invasive species are one slice of this whole.
One definition of biogeography.
the dominant area of interaction is around LULCC. LULCC is dominant perhaps because land use is a traditional subject of geography
Argues there are four areas of intersections, but that this is the most prominent one.
These criminal acts are frequently planned and supported by agitators who have traveled across State lines to promote their own violent agenda. These radicals shamelessly attack the legitimacy of our institutions and the very rule of law itself.
Appears to be an implicit reference to the Anti-Riot Act.
“Our country is made up of various smaller countries,” Alves said. “When you walk through Rio de Janeiro, you go through places that have the characteristics of Switzerland to places more like the Congo, all in the same city.”
On the geography of inequality in Brazil.
Your bottom-most layer is pure content; AFAIK, Sascha uses Ü2 as the first meta-layer that contains structure notes which in turn point to content notes to order them; Ü1 is the meta-meta-layer that brings order to structure notes first and foremost, but can of course also link to content notes.
Three structural layers:
A balcony is a strip of private property suspended over public space. On a balcony, one is outside, yet at home; exposed, yet secluded.
