Vegetation dynamics of Sangkub watershed in North Sulawesi Province indicated by NDVI of Landsat data

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2022
Vegetation can be an important indicator of ecosystem change, the influence of anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic factors. Therefore, it is important to study the dynamics of vegetation changes.

Regional mapping and monitoring land use/land cover changes: a modified approach using an ensemble machine learning and multitemporal Landsat data

Geocarto International, 2023
Regional mapping and monitoring of land use/land cover (LULC) still remain a challenge that depend on classifier and remote sensing data selected. This study aims to create precise LULC maps and explore the efficiency of an ensemble machine learning ...

Performance Evaluation of the MPAS Model in Simulating Southeast Asian Rainfall Characteristics

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the performance of the Model for Prediction Across Scales–Atmosphere (MPAS) in reproducing key rainfall characteristics over Southeast Asia (SEA) during 2000–2020, using the MSWEP dataset as reference. MPAS realistically captures the observed meridional rainfall gradient, with higher rainfall in the south and lower in the north, as

GIS-based delineation of local climate zones: The case of medium-sized Central European cities

Moravian Geographical Reports, 2016
Stewart and Oke (2012) recently proposed the concept of Local Climate Zones (LCZ) to describe the siting of urban meteorological stations and to improve the presentation of results amongst researchers. There is now a concerted effort, however, within the

From shape to source: sedimentary charcoal morphology as a proxy for tropical burned biomass composition

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sedimentary charcoal elongation is increasingly being used in paleoecology to distinguish herbaceous from woody fuel in past fires. However, the relationship between charcoal morphotypes and plant types has never been formally tested in tropical environments, despite its potential to improve understanding of fire regimes and deforestation, and

Precision Restoration to Minimize Soil Loss in a Watershed in the Atlantic Forest Domain

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Turvo River Watershed, located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais and part of the Doce River Basin, faces serious problems of erosion and soil degradation, which compromise and reduce the quality of local water resources. Given this scenario, it is essential to implement environmental recovery strategies that prioritize the ...

Recreation Service Supply–Demand Relationship and Driving Mechanism Analysis in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Clarifying the relationship between the supply and demand of recreation service not only enhances our comprehension of how cultural ecosystem services impact human well‐being, but also offers a theoretical foundation and scientific basis for developing regional landscape management strategies.

Land use and land cover play weak roles in typhoon economic losses at the county level

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2021
Many empirical typhoon economic loss models consider that the losses caused by typhoons mainly depend on the intensity of the hazards and the exposure in the affected areas.

Spatiotemporal analyses of soil moisture from point to footprint scale in two different hydroclimatic regions [PDF]

, 2011
This paper presents time stability analyses of soil moisture at different spatial measurement support scales (point scale and airborne remote sensing (RS) footprint scale 800 m × 800 m) in two different hydroclimatic regions.

Gender and Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN): Evaluating Nigeria's Legislative Framework for Achieving Gender‐Equitable LDN Outcomes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Legislative frameworks that support gender equality are crucial for addressing structural inequalities, protecting women's rights, and achieving gender‐equitable land degradation neutrality (LDN) outcomes. This study examines the extent to which national‐level policies and legislation governing LDN and related sectors incorporate gender ...
