Casuarina equisetifolia L. plays a significant role in sandy, coastal regions for sand stabilization and windbreaks. However, C. forests are susceptible to plant diseases insect pests, resulting mortality due pure stands harsh natural environment. Mapping the distribution of detecting its height can inform forest-management decisions. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery, coupled with classica...

This paper describes the development of a simple quasi-2D Eulerian atmospheric dispersion model that accounts for dry deposition of fugitive dust onto vegetation and buildings. The focus of this work is on the effects of atmospheric surface layer parameterizations on deposition in the “impact zone” near unpaved roads where horizontal advection of a dust cloud through roughness is important. A w...

Trees used in agroforestry practices, such as windbreaks, provide a variety of ecosystem benefits and are recognized globally as an important land use. However, efforts to inventory and monitor agroforestry land use have been sporadic, short-lived, or focused on small spatial extents. There are a variety of satellite-derived datasets that provide information about tree cover over broad spatial ...
