Deforestation impact on water dynamics in a Venezuelan Andean cloud forest

Article Abstract:

A breakdown is presented on the origin and impact of water at La Mucuy, a cloud forest within the Venezuelan Andes. Incoming water is comprised of 9% could moisture and 91% rainfall, with percentages given for throughfall to the ground, forest litter interception, transpiration loss and surface runoff; total foliage interception drew 51% of all incoming water.

Toward modeling regionally specific human security using GIS: Case study Cambodia

Article Abstract:

A three-stage methodology, threat assessment, data collection and organization, and data visualization and analysis, was used for measuring human security with help of a study in Cambodia. Regions of Cambodia exposed to poverty, dengue fever, and tuberculosis are located and spatial correlation between these threats is calculated.
