Application of Multilayer Perceptron for Estimating Maximum Canopy Height from Full-Waveform LiDAR Data

, 2023
The canopy height of forests is of great importance for forest resource management, biodiversity, and carbon storage capacity. Canopy height provides a deeper understanding of ecosystem status, changes in forest carbon storage, and other critical ...

Changing leaf nitrogen and canopy height quantify processes leading to plant and butterfly diversity loss in agricultural landscapes [PDF]

, 2014
1. We describe a novel method for quantifying ecosystem drivers that potentially compromise the effectiveness of agri-environment schemes. We use three sources of data that for many countries are already in the public domain: governmental agricultural ...

Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Impacts of Climate Change on Food Security: Land Management–Based Strategies Within a Nature‐Based Solutions Framework

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses serious threats to food security by affecting agricultural production processes in multiple ways. This study aims to analyze land management–based solution strategies that can be developed in response to this threat and presents a systematic and holistic framework through the relationship these strategies establish with ...

A Field Guide for Soil Erosion Risk Assessment in Olive Orchards Across Mediterranean Conditions for End‐Users and Stakeholders

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion control poses a crucial challenge to the sustainability of Mediterranean olive groves. To facilitate field‐level decision‐making, we have developed a field guide oriented to use in any type of olive orchard across the Mediterranean.

Canopy height estimation with TanDEM-X in temperate and boreal forests

International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2019
Abstract Various semi-empirical models for linking PolInSAR data (polarimetric synthetic aperture radar interferometry) to canopy height of vegetation exist. However, only single-polarized data were used during the TanDEM-X mission in order to create a global digital elevation model (DEM).

Alpine Secondary Forest Types Influence Soil Microbial Community Structure and Enzyme Activities on the Eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities and enzyme activities influence soil functions and tree growth in ecologically fragile alpine regions. However, differences in soil microbial communities among secondary forests remain poorly understood in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.
