Mapping Vegetation and Forest Types using Landsat TM in the Western Ghat Region of Maharashtra, India
Vegetation plays a key role in reducing ambient temperature, moisture and pollutant capture, energy use and subsequent ground level ozone reduction. In recent years vegetation mapping has become increasingly important, especially with advancements in environmental economic valuation. The spatial information from the remote sensing satellites enables researchers to quantify and qualify the amoun...
متن کاملDistribution of radionuclide in the forest soils (Western Ghats-India)
Background: The presence of radionuclides in the soil, measures need to be taken to minimize the radiation dose to humans. It is mostly gamma-emitting radionuclides that contribute to the radiation dose in long term behavior of these radionuclides in soil may determine the extent to which such countermeasures need to be applied. Materials and Methods: The activity concentration of these radionu...
متن کاملMapping forest post-fire canopy consumption in several overstory types using multi-temporal Landsat TM and ETM data
To facilitate the identification of appropriate post-fire watershed treatments and minimize erosion effects after socio-economically important fires, Interagency Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation (BAER) teams produce initial timely estimates of the fire perimeter and classifications of burn severity, forest mortality, and vegetation mortality. Accurate, cost-effective, and minimal time-consu...
متن کاملBurnt area mapping across Canada ' s boreal forest zone using SPOT VEGETATION calibrated with Landsat TM imageR ) fJ
Wildfires are a major source of disturbance to the boreal forest ecosystem as they have been documented to bum as much as 1.5 percent (22 million ha) of its global area in a single year (Cofer et a!., 1996). Fires in this ecosystem typically kill the standing trees and thus exert a dominant control on landscape level patterns of forest succession and stand age distribution (Johnson, 1992). Fire...
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 ...
