Spatial determinants and underlying drivers of land-use transitions in European Russia from 1770 to 2010
Journal of Land Use Science. 2019. Vol. 14. No. 4-6. P. 362–377.
Historic land-use and land-cover data are important inputs for assessing the impacts of human activity on the environment. Our goal was to reconstruct land-cover change from 1770 to 2010 and to evaluate its spatial determinants and underlying drivers for three study sites in diverse agroecological settings in Ryazan province in European Russia. We used historic maps and statistics as well as satellite imagery to reconstruct land-cover change and categorize it into six distinct land-management regimes. We applied spatially-explicit logistic regressions to assess which spatial determinants have had the strongest influences on land cover and how these influences have changed over time. Our results show how long-term land-cover trajectories can be modulated by broad political and economic alterations, rather than through gradual and local demand-side pressures from a rising population density and an increasing local demand for agricultural commodities.

The article analyses the phenomenon of positive representation in Soviet caricatures devoted to international relations. Both the peculiarities of the artistic and political phenomenon itself, atypical for the history of political caricatures, and its close connection with the foreign policy agenda, ideology, and the legacy of Soviet propaganda of the 1920s-1950s are studied. Visual sources ...

This publication offers an annotated translation of Jacques Goar’s notes on the epiclesis from his Euchologion (1647). The translation is accompanied by an introduction that places Goar’s text within the historical and polemical context of Greco-Latin controversies on the moment of consecration, particularly the epiclesis debate at the Council of Florence (1439). Goar’s interpretation, rooted ...

The article attempts to see the night landscape through the eyes of the author of a text that has long since become a school classic. The traditional interpretation ascribes a folk character to the poem, which Lermontov likely did not intend. A comparison with texts contemporary to the poet reveals that Lermontov's homeland is not ...

Unlike most other brachiopods, craniiforms lack a prominent pedicle, cement to a hard substrate by their ventral valve, and thereby can be easily distinguished in paleontological materials. In this study, we describe a new genus and species from the Porkuni Regional Stage of Northeastern Estonia (Baltica), corresponding to the lower part of the Hirnantian Stage ...

Although Brachiopoda represent a relatively small phylum, they exhibit significant morphological diversity. One of the central issues in understanding the evolution of the ancestral brachiopod body plan pertains to the homologies among body compartments across the different brachiopod subphyla: Craniiformea, Linguliformea, and Rhynchonelliformea. In this context, the pedicle stands out as one of the most ...

Randomized machine learning focuses on problems with considerable uncertainty in data and models. Machine learning algorithms are formulated in terms of a functional entropylinear programming problem. We adapt these algorithms to forecasting problems on an example of the evolution of thermokarst lakes area in permafrost zones.

Forest is a multi-layered canopy, where overstory and understory implement different biogeochemical cycles, phenology and functional role. Remote sensing products typically estimate forest total Leaf Area Index (LAI), while few quantify its components. The theoretical understanding of foliage distribution between layers is still quite limited. In this study we’ve developed a semi-empirical model for decomposition ...

Global warming has made the Arctic increasingly available for marine operations and created a demand for reliable operational sea ice forecasts to increase safety. Because ocean-ice numerical models are highly computationally intensive, relatively lightweight ML-based methods may be more efficient for sea ice forecasting. Many studies have exploited different deep learning models alongside classical approaches ...
