چکیده
The Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (GPG-LULUCF), published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is laid out to assist countries in preparing their greenhouse gas inventories by providing definitions and methodological advice especially for the sector land use, land-use change and forestry. This paper gives a short review of GPG-LULUCF, presents how remote sensing is taken into consideration and briefly discusses the potential of three remote sensing techniques (MERIS, SAR and airborne laser scanning).

Extended abstract 1- Introduction The forests of the Zagros vegetation area cover about six million hectares (40%) of Iran's forest area, which is dominated by oak species. These forests are exposed to a number of threats, including land use change, deforestation, over grazing, deliberate and unintentional fires, pest and disease attacks, and climate change. Although accurate and timely...
متن کاملThe SLEUTH Land Use Change Model: A Review
Land use change is driven by interaction in space and time between humans and the environment that can be captured by computer simulation models (Veldkamp and Verburg, 2004). In the last few decades, land use change models have played an important role in understanding the causes, mechanisms and consequences of land use dynamics. SLEUTH is an open source cellular automata based land use change ...
