Assessing the Potential for Agroforestry in Pokhara, Nepal: An Investigation of the Decline of Agricultural Land Use Along a Rural–Urban Gradient and Land Suitability Analysis

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT An agroforestry program is often considered an ameliorative option for land utilization, agricultural production, and environmental sustainability. However, land suitability for agroforestry is not always readily known to farmers and local policy planners.

PALSAR-2/ALOS-2 AND OLI/LANDSAT-8 DATA INTEGRATION FOR LAND USE AND LAND COVER MAPPING IN NORTHERN BRAZILIAN AMAZON [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In northern Brazilian Amazon, the crops, savannahs and rainforests form a complex landscape where land use and land cover (LULC) mapping is difficult.

Synergetic of PALSAR-2 and Sentinel-1A SAR Polarimetry for Retrieving Aboveground Biomass in Dipterocarp Forest of Malaysia

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2017
Space borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data have become one of the primary sources for aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation of forests. However, studies have indicated that limitations occur when a single sensor system is employed, especially in ...

Postseismic Deformation Following the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Detected by ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 [PDF]

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2020
Abstract We have been conducting study of postseismic deformation following the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake using ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 acquired till 2018. We apply ionospheric correction to interferograms of ALOS-2/PALSAR-2. L-band SAR gives us high coherence enough to reveal surface deformation even in vegetated or mountainous area for pairs of ...

Interlinked Dynamics of Rice Cultivation Intensity and Ground Subsidence: Spatio‐Temporal Insights Into Water Resource Implications From Multi‐Year Spaceborne SAR Analysis

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Sustainable rice cultivation is vital to meet global food demands, particularly in regions relying on groundwater for irrigation. Over‐pumping, however, can cause significant ground subsidence, threatening both infrastructure and agricultural sustainability.

Modeling and mapping aboveground biomass of the restored mangroves using ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 in East Kalimantan, Indonesia

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2020
Accurate estimation of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) using remote sensing is a requisite for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) system of the United Nations Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation.

Harnessing nature‐based solutions in modified tropical peatland to benefit biodiversity

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that well‐designed protection–production NbS schemes in tropical peat swamps can deliver joint climate and biodiversity benefits, provided that governance safeguards core forests while improving habitat quality in production zones.

Modeling Soil Organic Carbon Changes Using Signal‐To‐Noise Analysis: A Case Study Using European Soil Survey Datasets

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
This conceptual illustration underpins the Signal‐to‐Noise Ratio (SNR) framework proposed in the study to assess SOC change detectability using repeated Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) observations, Machine Learning and Earth Observation data. Using a simple simulated time series, the figure summarizes the two modelling approaches evaluated in this study ...

PALSAR wide-area mapping and annual monitoring methodology for Borneo

open access: yes, 2011
This paper describes the operational radar mapping processing chain developed and steps taken to produce a provisional wide-area PALSAR forest and land cover map of Borneo for the year 2007, compliant with emerging international standards (CEOS ...

Monitoring Forest Loss in ALOS/PALSAR Time-Series with Superpixels

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
We present a flexible methodology to identify forest loss in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) L-band ALOS/PALSAR images. Instead of single pixel analysis, we generate spatial segments (i.e., superpixels) based on local image statistics to track homogeneous
