Remotely sensed data is the most important data source for environmental change study over the past 40 years. Since large collections of remote sensing imagery have been acquired in a time frame of successive years, it is now possible to study long-term spatio-temporal pattern of environmental change and impacts of human activities. This study seeks an efficient and practical methodology for la...

Estimating the fractional coverage of photosynthetic vegetation (fPV) and non-photosynthetic (fNPV) is essential for assessing growth conditions in arid areas monitoring environmental changes desertification. The aim this study was to estimate fPV, fNPV bare soil (fBS) lower reaches Tarim River quantitatively. acquired field data during September 2020 obtaining fBS. Firstly, six indices (PVIs) ...

Wind erosion removes fine soil particles and thus affects surface properties, but the existence of a salt crust could prevent wind protect particles. Such results referring to affecting textural properties have been reported by many studies. However, it is still not clear whether differ between salt-crusted soils adjacent without in areas experiencing serious erosion. Therefore, objective this ...

Estimating Terrestrial Water Storage (TWS) not only helps to provide a comprehensive insight into water resource variability and the hydrological cycle but also for better management. In current research, Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) data are combined with available reconstruct longer record of Anomalies (TWSA) prior 2003 Tarim River Basin (TRB), based on Long Short-Term Memo...
