The changes in color of sand dunes from white to yellow or red is often interpreted to signify their age or their source materials. In this study we demonstrate the effect seasonal inter-dune freshwater ponds have on the bleaching of the color of sand dunes by iron reduction in the anaerobic conditions they create. By combining spectral measurements of field samples of dune sand together with the...
Landscape continuity is an important factor to consider while conducting evaluation of nature and landscape sensitivity. The new method presented here for landscape continuity analysis offers a quantitative tool to compare alternative land use plans in order to maintain maximum landscape continuity of open areas. The approach can be applied at multiple spatial scales and adds an important layer for...
The study examines the synoptic situations and weather conditions under which occurred Israel's largest forest fires between the years 1987–1995. Annual rainfall and maximum temperature were found to have a positive correlation with both the size of the burnt area and the frequency of fires. A negative correlation was found for the relative humidity at 12 UTC for the same parameters. The fire season...
