Mapping the Philippines’ Mangrove Forests Using Landsat Imagery
Current, accurate, and reliable information on the areal extent and spatial distribution of mangrove forests in the Philippines is limited. Previous estimates of mangrove extent do not illustrate the spatial distribution for the entire country. This study, part of a global assessment of mangrove dynamics, mapped the spatial distribution and areal extent of the Philippines' mangroves circa 2000....
متن کاملMulti-Temporal Assessment of Mangrove Forests Change in the Coastal Areas of Bushehr Region Based on Landsat Satellite Imagery
Continual access to precise information about the land use/land cover (LULC) changes of the Earth’s surface is extremely important for any sustainable development program in which LULC serves as one of the major input criteria. In this study, a supervised classification was applied to three Landsat images collected in 1986, 1998and 2018, providing mangrove forests change data in the coastal are...
متن کاملMapping disturbances in a mangrove forest using multi-date landsat TM imagery.
To evaluate the accounts of local fishermen, Landsat TM images (1986, 1993, 1999) were examined to assess potential losses in the mangrove forests of the Teacapán-Agua Brava lagoon system, Mexico. A binary change mask derived from image differencing of a band 4/3 ratio was employed to calculate any changes within this forested wetland. The results indicate that by 1986 approximately 18% (or 86 ...
متن کاملMapping and Change Analysis in Mangrove Forest by Using Landsat Imagery
Mangrove is located in the tropical and subtropical regions and brings good services for native people. Mangrove in the world has been lost with a rapid rate. Therefore, monitoring a spatiotemporal distribution of mangrove is thus critical for natural resource management. This research objectives were: (i) to map the current extent of mangrove in the West and Central Africa and in the Sundarban...
متن کاملAutomated Crop Type Mapping from Landsat Imagery
Knowledge of the spatial distribution of crop types is important for many environmental and human health research studies. These studies may require crop type maps over large geographical regions for multiple years, which can be derived only from satellite images. Interpretation of Landsat images using traditional image classification techniques is not feasible for such applications because of ...
