Long-Term Monitoring of Cropland Change near Dongting Lake, China, Using the LandTrendr Algorithm with Landsat Imagery [PDF]
Tracking cropland change and its spatiotemporal characteristics can provide a scientific basis for assessments of ecological restoration in reclamation areas. In 1998, an ecological restoration project (Converting Farmland to Lake) was launched in Dongting Lake, China, in which original lake areas reclaimed for cropland were converted back to lake or ...

Monitoring disturbances in tropical forests is important for assessing disturbance-related greenhouse gas emissions and the ability of forests to sequester carbon, and for formulating strategies for sustainable forest management. Thanks to a long-term observation history, large spatial coverage, and support from powerful cloud platforms such as Google ...

Improving Urban Forest Expansion Detection with LandTrendr and Machine Learning
Annual urban forest expansion dynamics are crucial for assessing the benefits and potential issues associated with vegetation accumulation over time. LandTrendr (Landsat-Based Detection of Trends in Disturbance and Recovery) can efficiently detect the dynamics of interannual land cover change, but it has difficulty distinguishing urban forest expansion

Evaluating the Multidimensional Stability of Regional Ecosystems Using the LandTrendr Algorithm
Stability is a key characteristic for understanding ecosystem processes and evolution. However, research on the stability of complex ecosystems often faces limitations, such as reliance on single parameters and insufficient representation of continuous changes.

Disturbances to forests are getting worse with climate change and urbanization. Assessing the functionality of forest ecosystems is challenging because it requires not only a large amount of input data but also comprehensive estimation indicator methods. The object of the evaluation index of forest ecosystem restoration relies on the ecosystem function
