A Spatio-Temporal Data Model for Analyzing the Relationship between Property Ownership Changes, Land-Use/Land-Cover and Carbon Dynamics

چکیده
Since 1980 there has been an increasing interest, both commercially and academically, in the development of spatio-temporal data models. Such data models are designed not only to facilitate information extraction about data objects and the relationships between these objects but also to support the analysis of data in a time series from varying perspectives. We will design a spatio-temporal data model for a NASA-funded research project. This project investigates how land ownership practices and land-use/land-cover, influence changes in carbon storage dynamics in forested ecosystems in the southeastern United States. The design of such a model will determine to what extent ownership changes have affected land-use/land-cover and whether these changes have in turn influenced carbon dynamics over the past 25 years.

Relationship between topography, land use and soil moisture in loess hillslopes
The relationship between topography, land use, and topsoil moisture storage is investigated for a small catchment with undulating deep loess hilslopes in the south of the Netherlands. For a period of 10 months, soil moisture profiles have been measured weekly at 15 locations throughout the catchment. A Generalized Additive Model was employed to find relationships between the various factors inf...

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...

Introduction: Climate change and human activities have a direct impact on land vegetation. Decreased rainfall and increased temperature are among the climate change factors leading to significant changes in water resources and energy balance in affected areas. On the other hand, human activities such as growing population, overgrazing and land use changes that make change in land conditions, al...

Introduction Atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), is the lowest part of the atmosphere. Its behavior is directly influenced by its contact with earth surface. On earth it usually responds to changes in surface radiative forcing in an hour or less. In this layer physical quantities such as flow velocity, temperature, moisture, etc., display rapid fluctuations (turbulence) and vertical mixing is st...

Land use/cover change is one of the main factors in environmental changes. The changes directly affect the value of ecosystem services. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of land use/land cover change in the Kashkan area on its ecosystem services. This research was carried out in three stages, including the analysis of land cover changes, prediction of changes, and carbon st...
