BS-Mamba for Black-Soil Area Detection On the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
arXivExtremely degraded grassland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) presents a significant environmental challenge due to overgrazing, climate change, and rodent activity, which degrade vegetation cover and soil quality. These extremely degraded grassland on QTP, commonly referred to as black-soil area, require accurate assessment to guide effective ...

Coupled Spatiotemporal Characterization of Monsoon Cloud Cover and Vegetation Phenology [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Many biogeophysical processes continuously evolve in both space and time. Some of these processes change gradually enough across both space and time to be oversampled by the satellite image archive. In these cases, image time series of Earth observations can support robust spatiotemporal analysis.

The emission of pollutants from ornamental shrubs during forest fires
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the combustion behavior, emissions, and aerosol production of four plant species: Laurus nobilis, Cistus monspeliensis, Photinia fraseri, and Cupressus sempervirens. The Heat Release Rate (HRR) and Smoke Production Rate (SPR) were measured, revealing that Cupressus sempervirens had the highest HRR and longest flame ...

How to Approach the Definition of WUI in Northern Europe
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article aims to delineate the wildland–urban interface in the sparsely populated, limited‐resourced Scandinavian peninsula (excluding Finland). Common WUI mapping assumptions and how different thresholds capture the reality of building ignition from wildfire in this region are evaluated.

Ecological and developmental history impacts the equitable distribution of services
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.The ecological and developmental history of the Chicago, Illinois, region has affected the current distribution of forests therein. These same factors, along with systemic and long‐lasting racial segregation, have shaped the distribution of the urban populations that benefit from the ecosystem services provided by urban forests. This study demonstrates

Global Challenges, EarlyView.This study examines climate change impacts on heating‐cooling demand and carbon footprint in Central Asia (CA). As icing and frost days decrease, cooling needs will rise, especially in Kyrgyzstan. However, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan maintain lower CO2 emissions due to renewables. Cooling‐related emissions in CA may rise by 41%–80%, highlighting the need
