Road mortality of the little owl (Athene noctua) in Spain.
Causes of little owl road mortality were investigated, based on 418 road casualties and their relation to road characteristics and roadside cover. Road casualties are the most... -
Soil development at the roadside: a case study of a novel ecosystem.
Over the last few decades, road construction has increased dramatically, and new surfaces have appeared in most landscapes. Standard roadside reclamation practices often fail,... -
Noise pollution mapping approach and accuracy on landscape scales.
Noise mapping allows the characterization of environmental variables, such as noise pollution or soundscape, depending on the task. Strategic noise mapping (as per Directive... -
