Impacts of land use/land cover changes on ecosystem services in ecologically fragile regions.

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
High-density human activities have rapidly changed the pattern of urban land use/land cover (LULC), affecting the supply of urban ecosystem services (ESs). This poses a challenge to the balance of urban development and ecological protection, which may be

Land cover and land-cover change from MODIS

1995 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, IGARSS '95. Quantitative Remote Sensing for Science and Applications, 2002
The MODIS land cover and land-cover change products are global products that will be derived from MODIS data following the launch of the MODIS instrument in 1998. The land cover product will provide about 20 classes of land cover based largely on major life-form vegetation types.

Land Use and Land Cover

2021
The land is one of the major components of the Earth’s surface. Land with anthropogenic activities and interaction is known as land use and land with natural status is recognized as land cover. This chapter deals with the overall land use and land cover (LULC) pattern of Nepal, with the changing trends of major LULC types.

A review on change detection method and accuracy assessment for land use land cover

, 2021
The assessment of land use land cover change is extremely important for understanding the relationship between humans and nature. The enormous changes at a regional scale and advancements in technology have encouraged researchers to gather more ...

Land Use and Land Cover Change of Ghana

IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
Land use and cover change (LUCC) is a central component in current strategies for managing natural resources and monitoring environmental change. In this paper, we used maximum likelihood classification algorithm to obtain the supervised land use and cover classification. Four major land use and cover classes are identified and mapped from 2000 to 2015.

Land cover change in global drylands: A review.

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
As a sensitive region, identifying land cover change in drylands is critical to understanding global environmental change. However, the current findings related to land cover change in drylands are not uniform due to differences in data and methods among

Land Use and Land Cover

2016
One of the key challenges in Global Change Research is the modelling of future changes in land use and land cover as a result of socio-economic and global climate change. Such changes are calculated dynamically in the Global Change decision support system for the Upper Danube (DANUBIA), thus helping to predict the effects of Global Change in this ...

The use of land cover change likelihood for improving land cover classification

2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017
The likelihood of transitions between pairs of land cover and land use classes in a given time interval and environmental context can be used to impose classification restrictions on an image or to evaluate results. This study presents a methodology for using the likelihood of transitions between classes to improve land cover classification, given a ...

Impact of Land-Cover and Land-Cover Changes

2011
>When the first satellite imagery became available, they evidenced human impacts on land-cover on a large scale. They showed cities, deforestation pattern, international borders, and even land-cover changes (LCC) and their impacts from space (Fig. 3.1). The Negev, for instance, appears much darker than the Sinai where grazing is unrestricted (Nicholson
