Extracting distribution and expansion of rubber plantations from Landsat imagery using the C5.0 decision tree method [PDF]

, 2017
Natural tropical rainforests in China’s Xishuangbanna region have undergone dramatic conversion to rubber plantations in recent decades, resulting in altering the region’s environment and ecological systems. Therefore, it is of great importance for local

Integrating indigenous crops in agroforestry systems: Lesser yam and teak mixed systems are more profitable than monocultures in Indonesia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Major staple crops are often introduced and cultivated in monocultures. Yams are staple crops native to the majority of low‐ and middle‐income countries and can provide an alternative to introduced staple crops. We showed that lesser yams cultivated together with teak trees (planted at the border of the farm) are more profitable than lesser yam ...

Soil erosion responses to climate change in a tropical monsoon‐dominated river basin ‐ A geospatial perspective

River, EarlyView.
Climate change is projected to intensify soil erosion in the Chalakkudy River Basin, with bare lands and steep uplands emerging as the most vulnerable hotspots under high‐emission scenarios. Forested areas showed greater resistance to soil erosion, highlighting the importance of targeted soil conservation for sustainable watershed management in ...
