The role of land cover change in Arctic-Boreal greening and browning trends [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2019
Many studies have used time series of satellite-derived vegetation indices to identify so-called greening and browning trends across the northern high-latitudes and to suggest that the productivity of Arctic-Boreal ecosystems is changing in response to ...

Global 10 m Land Use Land Cover Datasets: A Comparison of Dynamic World, World Cover and Esri Land Cover

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
The European Space Agency’s Sentinel satellites have laid the foundation for global land use land cover (LULC) mapping with unprecedented detail at 10 m resolution. We present a cross-comparison and accuracy assessment of Google’s Dynamic World (DW), ESA’

Current remote sensing approaches to monitoring forest degradation in support of countries measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) systems for REDD+

open access: yesCarbon Balance and Management, 2017
Forest degradation is a global phenomenon and while being an important indicator and precursor to further forest loss, carbon emissions due to degradation should also be accounted for in national reporting within the frame of UN REDD+.

Linking remote-sensing estimates of land cover and census statistics on land use to produce maps of land use of the conterminous United States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Human use of the land has a large effect on the structure of terrestrial ecosystems and the dynamics of biogeochemical cycles. For this reason, terrestrial ecosystem and biogeochemistry models require moderate resolution (e.g., ≤0.5°) information on land

Development of scenarios for land cover, population density, impervious cover, and conservation in New Hampshire, 2010–2100 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Future changes in ecosystem services will depend heavily on changes in land cover and land use, which, in turn, are shaped by human activities. Given the challenges of predicting long-term changes in human behaviors and activities, scenarios provide a ...

Land cover change and multiple remotely sensed datasets consistency in China

open access: yesEcosystem Health and Sustainability, 2022
Although numerous land cover datasets can act as references for understanding land cover change in China, the inconsistencies between the datasets can also provide understanding. Previous studies on the consistency between land cover datasets have mostly
