Restoring degraded grasslands [PDF]
, 2018 Grasslands are complex ecosystems comprising numerous biotic and abiotic components. The biotic components are the herbaceous grass and forb plants, soil organisms and grazing graminivores which have biological and physiological requirements. The abiotic components include radiant energy from sunlight; the essential major elements of carbon, hydrogen ...

Do roads lead to grassland degradation or restoration? A case study in Inner Mongolia, China [PDF]
, 2011 We use satellite remote sensing data of grassland cover in Inner Mongolia, China to test whether the existence of and the size of roads in 1995 is associated with the nature of the grassland in 2000 and/or if it affects the rate of change of the ...

Automatic Grassland Degradation Estimation Using Deep Learning [PDF]
Proceedings of the Twenty-Eighth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2019 Grassland degradation estimation is essential to prevent global land desertification and sandstorms. Typically, the key to such estimation is to measure the coverage of indicator plants. However, traditional methods of estimation rely heavily on human eyes and manual labor, thus inevitably leading to subjective results and high labor costs. In contrast,
