‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

A comparative study of impervious surface extraction using Sentinel-2 imagery

European Journal of Remote Sensing, 2020
The accuracy and efficiency of impervious surface extraction using different algorithms vary greatly, and algorithm applicability depends on the study area.

The Combined Use of Optical and SAR Data for Large Area Impervious Surface Mapping

, 2010
One of the megatrends marking our societies today is the rapid growth of urban agglomerations which is accompanied by a continuous increase of impervious surface (IS) cover.

Urbanisation and human activities influence the co‐occurrence of red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris and meso‐carnivores in Berlin, Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban expansion is a major driver of habitat fragmentation, shrinking wildlife habitat, and restricting wildlife movements and activity patterns. In this novel environment, species must adapt to the new composition of wildlife communities. For example, red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris are commonly found in urban environments, while their potential ...

Extracting urban impervious surface based on optical and SAR images cross-modal multi-scale features fusion network

International Journal of Digital Earth
Monitoring the spatiotemporal distribution of urban impervious surface is an essential indication for measuring the urbanization process. Optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are key data sources in urban impervious surface extraction ...

Build-up and characterisation of pollutants on urban impervious surfaces

Water Science and Technology, 2018
Abstract This paper presents the results of the investigation of pollutant build-up on impervious surfaces of a parking lot in Belgrade, Serbia during the summer months. Contaminant build-up was found to be greater on asphalt surfaces directly exposed to vehicular traffic than on concrete walkways.

Combined Effects of Impervious Surface and Vegetation Cover on Air Temperature Variations in a Rapidly Expanding Desert City [PDF]

The goal of this study is to improve our understanding of the interac- tive function of impervious and vegetation covers at different levels of the local and intra-urban spatial scales in relation to air temperatures in an urban environment.

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Modeling Land-Cover Types Using Multiple Endmember Spectral Mixture Analysis in a Desert City [PDF]

Spectral mixture analysis is probably the most commonly used approach among sub-pixel analysis techniques. This method models pixel spectra as a linear combination of spectral signatures from two or more ground components.
