Long-term land-use / land-cover changes in Czech border regions

Land use and land cover spatiotemporal dynamic pattern and predicting changes using integrated CA-Markov model

Analyzing the process of land use and cover changes during long periods of time and predicting the future changes is highly important and useful for the land use managers. In this study, the land use maps in the Ardabil plain in north-west part of Iran for four periods (1989, 1998, 2009 and 2013) are extracted and analyzed through remote sensing technique, using the land-sat satellite images. T...

Land-use, Land-cover Changes and Global Aggregate Impacts

Land-use, Land-cover Changes and Biodiversity Loss

During Earth's history, species extinction has probably been caused by modifications of the physical environment after impacts such as meteorites or volcanic activity. On the contrary, the actual extinction of species is mainly a result of human activities, namely any form of land use that causes the conversion of vast areas to settlement, agriculture, and forestry, resulting in habitat destruc...

Detection of Land-use and Land Cover Changes

Florida Panhandle region has been experiencing rapid land transformation in the recent decades. To quantify land use and land-cover (LULC) changes and other landscape changes in this area, three counties including Franklin, Liberty and Gulf were taken as a case study and an unsupervised classification approach implemented to Landsat TM images acquired from 1985 to 2005 provided a time-series of...

Monitoring Land Use/Cover Changes Using

Land use/cover change mapping is one of the basic tasks for environmental monitoring and management. In recent years, a variety of change detection techniques have been developed. This research compares three change detection techniques, including image differencing, image rationing, and image regression to study land use/cover changes in Falavarjan /Iran. The data sources used in this study we...
