Mapping and Monitoring Forest Landscape Restoration Using Landsat-8 Images

Mapping soil salinity using Landsat 8 images for land evaluation: A Case Study of Saveh

Introduction: As a valuable asset that play a key role in the environment, natural resources, and the production of agricultural products, soil provided an appropriate ground for plant growth and vegetation development. Therefore, any disregard to the preservation of such a valuable capital may result in food shortages, soil erosion, and degradation of natural resources. From among different i...

Mapping post-disturbance forest landscape composition with Landsat satellite imagery

Mapping burn severity in a disease-impacted forest landscape using Landsat and MASTER imagery

Global environmental change has increased forest vulnerability to the occurrence of interacting disturbances, including wildfires and invasive diseases. Mapping post-fire burn severity in a disease-affected forest often faces challenges because burned and infested trees may exhibit a high similarity in spectral reflectance. In this study, we combined (preand post-fire) Landsat imagery and (post...

Monitoring forest disturbances in Southeast Oklahoma using Landsat and MODIS images

Monitoring forest disturbances using remote sensing data with high spatial and temporal resolution can reveal relationships between forest disturbances and forest ecological patterns and processes. In this study, we fused Landsat data at high spatial resolution (30 m) with 8-day MODIS data to produce high spatial and temporal resolution image time-series. The Spatial Temporal Adaptive Algorithm...

Identification and investigation of the area under cultivation in Lenjanat using Landsat 8 satellite images

The cognition of cropping pattern is important for planning and resource management .Remote sensing as a science and technology of spatial information and geographic information system due to having the analytical facilities can play a key role in determining the distribution of crops and their lands under cultivation. In this research, in order to identify and separate the lands under cultivat...
