Land use changes and sediment yield on a hilly watershed in Central-East Argentina

effect of land-use and precipitation changes on sediment yield )case study: taleghan watershed(

natural landscape alternation is a problem that has been under debate for a long time. landutilization techniques like agriculture, forest and rangelands, residential and urban are amonginfluential criteria affecting erosion severity and sediment yield in a given region. in this respect,land management is a promising option to mitigate it. thus, acquaintance with quantitative soilerosion owing ...

Driving Forces in Archetypical Land-Use Changes in a Mountainous Watershed in East Asia

Identifying patterns and drivers of regional land use changes is crucial for supporting land management and planning. Doing so for mountain ecosystems in East Asia, such as the So-yang River Basin in South Korea, has until now been a challenge because of extreme social and ecological complexities. Applying the techniques of geographic information systems (GIS) and statistical modeling via multi...

Analysis of land use changes in the middle Taleghan watershed during a thirty year period

In this study, land use change in the middle Taleghan watershed has been studied and analyzed. First, the land use map of Taleghan Mian watershed was prepared during the last thirty years in four years 1987, 1998, 2008 and 2017. Landsat satellite imagery was used to prepare land use map in four years. In this research, the hybrid classification method (combination of supervized and unsupervized...
