Evaluation of Image Fusion Techniques for Large-Scale Mapping of Non-Green Vegetation
In this paper, three different image fusion techniques are discussed and evaluated for the specific application of large-scale mapping of non-green vegetation. Additional synthetic scenes are used in the evaluation to exclude specific sources of errors and to cover a wide range of scene conditions.
متن کاملMulti-Scale Associations between Vegetation Cover and Woodland Bird Communities across a Large Agricultural Region
Improving biodiversity conservation in fragmented agricultural landscapes has become an important global issue. Vegetation at the patch and landscape-scale is important for species occupancy and diversity, yet few previous studies have explored multi-scale associations between vegetation and community assemblages. Here, we investigated how patch and landscape-scale vegetation cover structure wo...
متن کاملEarlier vegetation green-up has reduced spring dust storms
The observed decline of spring dust storms in Northeast Asia since the 1950s has been attributed to surface wind stilling. However, spring vegetation growth could also restrain dust storms through accumulating aboveground biomass and increasing surface roughness. To investigate the impacts of vegetation spring growth on dust storms, we examine the relationships between recorded spring dust stor...
متن کاملGreen and blue water demand from large-scale land acquisitions in Africa.
In the last decade, more than 22 million ha of land have been contracted to large-scale land acquisitions in Africa, leading to increased pressures, competition, and conflicts over freshwater resources. Currently, 3% of contracted land is in production, for which we model site-specific water demands to indicate where freshwater appropriation might pose high socioenvironmental challenges. We use...
متن کاملEvaluating large-scale Knowledge Resources across Languages
This paper presents an empirical evaluation in a multilingual scenario of the semantic knowledge present on publicly available large-scale knowledge resources. The study covers a wide range of manually and automatically derived large-scale knowledge resources for English and Spanish. In order to establish a fair and neutral comparison, the knowledge resources are evaluated using the same method...
