Abstract	COVID-19 has infected over 163 million people and has resulted in over 3.9 million deaths. Regarding the tools and strategies to research the ongoing pandemic, spatial analysis has been increasingly utilized to study the impacts of COVID-19. This article provides a review of 221 scientific articles that used spatial science to study the pandemic published from June 2020 to December 2020. The main objectives are: to identify the tools and techniques used by the authors; to review the subjects addressed and their disciplines; and to classify the studies based on their applications. This contribution will facilitate comparisons with the body of work published during the first half of 2020, revealing the evolution of the COVID-19 phenomenon through the lens of spatial analysis. Our results show that there was an increase in the use of both spatial statistical tools (e.g., geographically weighted regression, Bayesian models, spatial regression) applied to socioeconomic variables and analysis at finer spatial and temporal scales. We found an increase in remote sensing approaches, which are now widely applied in studies around the world. Lockdowns and associated changes in human mobility have been extensively examined using spatiotemporal techniques. Another dominant topic studied has been the relationship between pollution and COVID-19 dynamics, which enhance the impact of human activities on the pandemic's evolution. This represents a shift from the first half of 2020, when the research focused on climatic and weather factors. Overall, we have seen a vast increase in spatial tools and techniques to study COVID-19 transmission and the associated risk factors.

Abstract	El concepto de paisaje se ha consolidado como categoría superior de análisis del territorio al incorporar no solo las variables objetivas naturales y humanas, sino también el medio percibido, surgiendo así investigaciones centradas en el componente visual del paisaje por tratarse de un enfoque útil para la planeación territorial. La presente investigación cuantifica las limitaciones de acceso y visibilidad en nueve barrancas de la ciudad de Cuernavaca (México) mediante Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG), proponiendo un método para acercarse al conocimiento de este paisaje urbano. Los resultados indican que la accesibilidad promedio en estas es de un 9,50 %, y que el 49,98 % de la superficie en los predios colindantes está destinada a viviendas que se han apropiado de estos paisajes históricos. En la barranca más icónica se comprobó que la visibilidad pública está reducida a un 9,95 % del espacio abierto, el cual solo puede ser visto desde nueve puntos de vocación vehicular. La ciudad se ha caracterizado por una falta de visión urbana para estos espacios con el resultado de su degradación ambiental, pérdida del paisaje identitario y fracaso de los esfuerzos de saneamiento. Por lo anterior, los criterios de visibilidad pueden orientar una nueva agenda urbana para Cuernavaca.

Abstract	This study entailed a review of 63 scientific articles on geospatial and spatial-statistical analysis of the geographical dimension of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The diversity of themes identified in this paper can be grouped into the following categories of disease mapping: spatiotemporal analysis, health and social geography, environmental variables, data mining, and web-based mapping. Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of COVID-19 is essential for its mitigation, as it helps to clarify the extent and impact of the pandemic and can aid decision making, planning and community action. Health geography highlights the interaction of public health officials, affected actors and first responders to improve estimations of disease propagation and likelihoods of new outbreaks. Attempts at interdisciplinary correlation examine health policy interventions for the siting of health/sanitary services and controls, mapping/tracking of human movement, formulation of appropriate scientific and political responses and projection of spatial diffusion and temporal trends. This review concludes that, to fight COVID-19, it is important to face the challenges from an interdisciplinary perspective, with proactive planning, international solidarity and a global perspective. This review provides useful information and insight that can support future bibliographic queries, and also serves as a resource for understanding the evolution of tools used in the management of this major global pandemic of the 21 Century. It is hoped that its findings will inspire new reflections on the COVID-19 pandemic by readers.

Abstract	Shrubland is a Mediterranean biome characterized by densely growing evergreen shrubs adapted to fire events. To date, scientific research has focused on the impact of vegetation on soil erosion mainly through the control that plant biomass or plant cover exerts on sediment delivery and runoff discharge, being the individual plant species influence on hydrological and erosional processes not achieved in detail. The objective of this research is to determine: i) runoff and soil losses in a shrubland-covered rangeland at Sierra de Enguera, Spain; and ii) how four plant species affect soil and water losses. We measured soil cover, soil properties, runoff discharge and sediment yield under natural rainfall for five years (2010-2014) in a typical shrubland burnt in 1999. Four plant species were selected with 4 plots each: Ulex parviflorus Pourr., Pistacia lentiscus L., Quercus coccifera L. and Rosmarinus officinalis L. Despite that the soil properties and plant cover did not exhibit statistically significant differences among plant species, the runoff discharge was lower on Q. coccifera (4.87%, SE 0.24) and P. lentiscus (6.24%, SE 0.51) than on U. parviflorus (13.41%, SE 0.58) and R. officinalis (13.84%, SE 1.23). Sediment concentrations were, respectively, 3.91, 4.33, 4.31 and 4.88 g l

Abstract	Este trabajo aborda el tratamiento del aspecto visual en la cartografía del paisaje, repasa los antecedentes epistemológicos de la materia y dedica un apartado a los referidos a México, país con escasa tradición en este tipo de análisis. Tras ello, el artículo se centra en el caso aplicado de análisis de los paisajes de la cuenca del río Chiquito (Morelia, Michoacán), desde la perspectiva visual y con metodologías indirectas, cuantitativas y objetivables. Las fases del estudio son: a) delimitación de Unidades Visuales de Paisaje en función del concepto de “cuenca visual”, que serán las unidades territoriales sobre las cuales se hagan los posteriores análisis paisajísticos; b) establecimiento de tipos de paisaje, entendidos como el resultado de la combinación de los elementos bióticos y abióticos que configuran el paisaje, sean naturales o antrópicos; c) estudios de visibilidad, tanto de la intrínseca (según el condicionante topográfico) como de la accesibilidad visual (dependiente del número de observadores) y ampliando el análisis a la visibilidad de los impactos negativos; d) análisis de cualidades clave para la incorporación del paisaje al ordenamiento territorial, como son la calidad, la fragilidad y la aptitud de los paisajes, con sus respectivas valoraciones y zonificaciones. Todo ello se expresa cartográficamente, siendo la escala de trabajo 1:25 000. Entre las conclusiones puede destacarse la propuesta de preservación de ciertos paisajes de acuerdo con sus elevados valores de calidad y fragilidad. También se proponen las unidades que, en caso de necesidad, podrían acoger actuaciones con incidencia territorial sin grave quebranto paisajístico.

Abstract	CONTEXT: Theoretical models propose that the spatial extent at which landscape structure best predicts species responses (scale of effect, SoE) depends on habitat and dietary specialization, landscape metrics, and response variables. However, empirical support for such models is scarce, especially for apex predators. OBJECTIVES: To determine SoE for diurnal raptors, and test for differences among ecological traits of habitat and dietary specialization, landscape metrics, and response variables. METHODS: We conducted 1.5 km transect surveys of diurnal raptors at 26 sites in a tropical dry forest from western Mexico. We measured four landscape metrics (forest cover, matrix hardness, forest patch density, edge density) in 16 concentric landscapes (400 to 3400 ha) around each survey site. We then assessed the landscape size at which each landscape metric best predicted each response variable (abundance, species richness, temporal beta diversity). Finally, we tested for differences in SoE among ecological traits of raptors, landscape metrics, and response variables. RESULTS: Landscape composition metrics of forest cover and matrix hardness decreased with increasing landscape size, and were the main landscape predictors influencing diurnal raptors. SoE differed significantly among landscape metrics, being larger for forest cover (2433.3 ha) than matrix hardness (1500 ha). However, SoE did not differ significantly among ecological traits of raptors, or response variables. CONCLUSIONS: SoE was mainly driven by spatial metrics, with diurnal raptors being more strongly associated with forest cover measured over larger scales. This supports findings for other taxa and suggests that forest cover influences dispersal success across larger scales.

Abstract	One of the primary objectives of physical geography is to determine how natural phenomena produce specific territorial patterns. Therefore, physical geography offers substantial scientific input into territorial planning for sustainability. A key area where physical geography can contribute to land management is in the delimitation of landscape units. Such units are fundamental to formal socio-economic zoning and management in territorial planning. However, numerous methodologies—based on widely varying criteria—exist to delineate and map landscapes. We have selected five consolidated methodologies with current applications for mapping the landscape to analyse the different role of physical geography in each: (1) geomorphological landscape maps based on landforms; (2) geosystemic landscape maps; (3) Landscape Character Assessment; (4) landscape studies based on visual landscape units; (5) landscape image-pair test. We maintain that none of these methodologies are universally applicable, but that each contributes important insights into landscape analysis for land management within particular biogeophysical and social contexts. This work is intended to demonstrate that physical geography is ubiquitous in contemporary landscape studies intended to facilitate sustainable territorial planning, but that the role it plays varies substantially with the criteria prioritized.

Abstract	The European Landscape Convention (ELC) has encouraged affiliated countries to develop several assessment methodologies to facilitate land management in an effort to develop compatible, integrative assessment techniques that can be applied in diverse geographic settings. Here we begin to address the question of how to develop comprehensive landscape assessments based on the criteria of the ELC by integrating landscape studies using biophysical and visual characteristics. We assessed visibility, quality, and fragility to determine aptitude for protection based on both biophysical and visual landscape units. We selected the Martin River Cultural Park (Aragon, Spain) as a study area because it is recognized as a site of cultural and geomorphological importance, it is situated in a signatory country to the ELC, but has not been subject to any landscape assessment. The resulting maps of aptitude for protection can be used to prioritize landscapes for protection based on their levels of quality and fragility.
