Humid tropical forest clearing from 2000 to 2005 quantified by using multitemporal and multiresolution remotely sensed data.
Forest cover is an important input variable for assessing changes to carbon stocks, climate and hydrological systems, biodiversity richness, and other sustainability science disciplines. Despite incremental improvements in our ability to quantify rates of forest clearing, there is still no definitive understanding on global trends. Without timely and accurate forest monitoring methods, policy r...
متن کاملModeling α- and β-diversity in a tropical forest from remotely sensed and spatial data
Comprehensive information on species distribution and species composition patterns of plant communities is required for effective conservation and management of biodiversity. Remote sensing offers an inexpensive means of attaining complete spatial coverage for large areas, at regular time intervals, and can therefore be extremely useful for estimating both species richness and spatial variation...
متن کاملUsing multitemporal, multispectral and multisource remotely sensed data to classify crops : An innovative approximation
This paper describes some preliminary results of an innovative methodology for classifying agricultural crops using multi-temporal, multi-spectral and multi-source remotely-sensed data. The procedure firstly characterises the individual training class data by considering these data values as a function of time of imaging and waveband. An analytical surface is fitted to these data points, which ...
متن کاملEblup Estimates by Using Remotely Sensed Data
The knowledge of auxiliary variables for entire population is a necessary task in many agricultural applications; for example a method widely applied to improve the efficiency of crop area estimations is the regression estimator (Cochran, 1977), that exploit the correlation between classified satellite images (auxiliary information) and ground surveys’ data. The regression analysis offer a lot ...
متن کاملVerification Using Remotely Sensed Data
Soil moisture is an important hydrologic variable that controls various land surface processes. In spite of its importance to agriculture and drought monitoring, soil moisture information is not widely available on a regional scale. However, long-term soil moisture information is essential for agricultural drought monitoring and crop yield prediction. The hydrologic model Soil and Water Assessm...
