Abstract Quantitative assessment for sustainable watershed management is essential. Hydrological parameters such as stream discharge, surface runoff, infiltration, groundwater recharge, and water quality are susceptible to the changes of components in river basin ecosystem. Numerous studies have shown that Land Use Cover (LULC) deforestation, extensive agriculture, urbanization, mining recogniz...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine if remotely sensed data and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) can test relationships between Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles gambiae s.l. larval habitats and environmental parameters within Internally Displaced People (IDP) campgrounds in Gulu, Uganda. A total of 65 georeferenced aquatic habitats in various IDP camps were studied to compare the...

Land cover changes threaten biodiversity by impacting the natural habitats and require careful continuous assessment. The standard approach for assessing these is land modeling. present study investigated spatio-temporal in Use Cover (LULC) Gorgan River Basin (GRB) during 1990–2020 period predicted 2040. First, a change analysis employing satellite imagery from 1990 to 2020 was carried out. The...

Cultural values are integral to indigenous Māori culture in New Zealand and are pivotal to guiding a person’s preferences and priorities. Traditional concepts and beliefs have shaped the thinking of most Māori, and Māori knowledge still resonates strongly within contemporary Māori society. Cultural values therefore reflect both the long history and relationship tangata whenua (people of the lan...

This paper explores the relationship between remote sensing measurements of land surface temperature and biophysical/socioeconomic data by utilizing the association rule mining technique. The surfaces associated with urban uses typically radiate more heat as compared to its rural counterparts. There is a need to quantitatively analyze this contrast in temperature and the biophysical and social ...

Land use–land cover (LULC) is an important feature for ecological environment research, land resource management and evaluation. Although global high-resolution LULC data sets are booming, their regional performances were still evaluated in limited regions. To demonstrate the local applicability of products, six emerging products compared Guangxi, China. The used European Space Agency GlobCover...

Study of the land-use/land cover (LULC) changes close to the boundary of the buildup area (urban fringe) provides deeper understanding of a land-use dynamics at different spatial and temporal scales. Few thoughts have given to the analysis of complicated spatial landscape at a fringe area. The aim of this paper is to resolve this bias by focusing on these interfaces. Results of this paper show ...

Carbon storage is an important component of ecosystem services. Under climate warming and human activities, land use/land cover (LULC) have been undergoing tremendous change, leading to spatio-temporal variations in carbon storage. Based on seven series LULC data combined with module Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Tradeoffs (InVEST) model, spatial-temporal changes types were analyzed e...
