Given the complexity of vegetation dynamic patterns under global climate change, multi-scale spatiotemporal explicit models are necessary in order to account for environmental heterogeneity. However, there is no efficient time-series tool to extract, reconstruct and analyze the multi-scale vegetation dynamic patterns under global climate change. To fill this gap, a Multi-Scale Spatio-Temporal Modeling (MSSTM) framework which can incorporate the pixel, scale, and time-specific heterogeneity was proposed. The MSSTM method was defined on proper time-series models for multitemporal components through wavelet transforms. The proposed MSSTM approach was applied to a subtropical mountainous and hilly agro-forestry ecosystem in southeast China using the …

The research approach included a targeted review of existing practice in planning for climate change adaptation in Australia and internationally; an analysis of Australian coastal and planning legislation and policy; a survey of coastal local government areas in non metropolitan coastal areas (February – July 2011); and two expert “round tables” comprising coastal policy makers, scientists, lawyers, local
councillors, and planners (held on 29 March 2011).
The results of the survey and round table discussions reveal widespread stakeholder acknowledgement of the significant progress undertaken in Australian coastal and climate change policy since late 2008, catalysed by the House of Representatives …
