Mapping smallholder fruit plantations using optical data is challenging due to morphological landscape heterogeneity and crop types having overlapping spectral signatures. Furthermore, cloud covers limit the use of sensing, especially in subtropical climates where they are persistent. This research assessed effectiveness Sentinel-1 (S1) Sentinel-2 (S2) for mapping trees co-existing land-use by ...

Land suitability evaluation in water scarce agricultural watersheds consists of assessment of land potential for various crops as well as surface water potential to identify the scope for supplementary irrigation. A large amount of information related to the crop land suitability can be conveyed through linguistic terms. Capability of fuzzy sets in modeling involving uncertainty and vagueness i...

One of the most challenging aspects obtaining detailed and accurate land-use land-cover (LULC) maps is availability representative field data for training validation. In this manuscript, we evaluate use Eurostat Land Use Coverage Area frame Survey (LUCAS) 2018 to generate a LULC map with 19 crop type classes two broad categories woodland shrubland, grassland. The were used in combination Copern...

Land use suitability assessment is an important fundamental work in urban-rural planning. Be restricted by technology and means, qualitative analysis methods be wider used in evaluating land use suitability in most districts of China. This method can’t impersonally and Quantitatively indicate the difference in land use suitability, and make urban-rural planning more subjectively because the inf...

a primary uses from iran rangelands is livestock grazing and the major livestock is sheep. sheep grazing on the slopes above 60%, because of using a lot of energy for grazing operation, caused to not only reduces livestock performance but also increases the risk of erosion. sheep grazing in an area where more than five kilometers away from water sources, due to the prolongation of the march rou...

Plantation land expansion in forest areas has been a problem for some time as an effort to meet rising food demands, so suitability measures are required. The development of the Analythical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information System (GIS) combination found be effective determining suitability, but still rarely plantation crops areas. study's goal was integrate AHP GIS methods eva...

Land suitability classification tools have been largely applied by environmental managers to support decision making. These tools are needed in the case of the management of biosolids on agricultural soil, to minimise environmental contamination and human exposure. To define the suitability of the agricultural areas is a complex task that involves integrating parameters that are incomparable an...

Severe range degradation was critically extended in many region of Iran and caused many rangelands were restricted and interwoven with croplands in a complex system. Therefore, rangeland planning and inventory as an isolated activity has become almost impossible. Current landscape planning involves contributions of different social organizations often with different interests and with different...

Global surface pressure data from 1976 to 1997 from over 7500 land stations and the Comprehensive Ocean– Atmosphere Data Set have been analyzed using harmonic and zonal harmonic methods. It is found that the diurnal pressure oscillation (S1) is comparable to the semidiurnal pressure oscillation (S2) in magnitude over much of the globe except for the low-latitude open oceans, where S2 is about t...
