EVALUATING REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES FOR MONITORING GRASSLAND DEGRADATION
Caminhos de GeografiaEcosystem degradation is one of the most significant environmental challenges worldwide. In particular, grassland degradation poses serious threat to agricultural productivity, species diversity, and soil stability. This study aimed to compare the applicability of two remote sensing techniques – the Linear Spectral Mixture Model (LSM) and the Grassland
