Forest Change Detection in the Amazon Rainforest

International Journal of Next-Generation Computing, 2023
Remote sensing is widely used in the prediction of forest cover. Forest plays an important role in the balance of the ecosystem. It helps to maintain the balance between climate. We depend a lot on forests for wood, oxygen, and also for the control of soil erosion. Hence it is our duty to maintain the forest cover on earth.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
