Outcomes of applying a geopedologic approach to soil survey in Iran [PDF]
Desert, 2017 The paper reviews a set of soil surveys carried out in Iran using a geopedologic approach for different surveying aims in different scales. Most of these studies have implemented a similar survey method including the following steps: delineation of ...

Landscape Environmental Monitoring [PDF]
, 2011 Landscape pattern is of primary interest to landscape ecologists and landscape metrics are used to quantify landscape pattern. Calculation of landscape metrics is commonly conducted on completely mapped areas based on remotely sensed data.

Do We Need More Urban Green Space to Alleviate PM2.5 Pollution? A Case Study in Wuhan, China
Land, 2022 Urban green space can help to reduce PM2.5 concentration by absorption and deposition processes. However, few studies have focused on the historical influence of green space on PM2.5 at a fine grid scale.

Geomorphodiversity index: Quantifying the diversity of landforms and physical landscape
Science of The Total Environment, 2017 The physical landscape is the mosaic resulting from a wide spectrum of environmental components. The landforms define the variety, or diversity, of the geomorphological component: the geomorphodiversity. Landforms are usually represented in thematic maps where the scale and the graphic solutions are widely heterogeneous. Since geomorphological maps are

Spatiotemporal analysis of the impact of urban landscape forms on PM2.5 in China from 2001 to 2020
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2023 Urban landscape forms can be effective in reducing increasing PM2.5 concentrations due to urbanization in China, making it crucially important to accurately quantify the spatiotemporal impact of urban landscape forms on PM2.5 variations.

A SAR-Based Index for Landscape Changes in African Savannas [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2017 Change detection is one of the main applications in earth observation but currently there are only a few approaches based on radar imagery. Available techniques strongly focus on optical data. These techniques are often limited to static analyses of image pairs and are frequently lacking results which address the requirements of the user. Some of these
