The carbon burial in vegetated sediments, ignored in past assessments of carbon burial in the ocean, was evaluated using a bottom-up approach derived from upscaling a compilation of published individual estimates of carbon burial in vegetated habitats (seagrass meadows, salt marshes and mangrove forests) to the global level and a top-down approach derived from considerations of global sediment ...

Water erosion is a major threat to biodiversity, according the European Commission’s Soil Thematic Strategy, as it negatively affects soil structure, fertility and water availability for plants. The island of Crete (Southern Greece) has been characterized biodiversity hotspot including several Natura 2000 (N2K)-protected areas. aim this study was model loss rate in regarding species richness, h...

The implementation of Smart City projects has experimented a surge in the recent years with examples such as Santander or Barcelona City. Among different domains that comprise City, water management great importance, more so areas scarcity. Furthermore, from sources treated sewage collected rainwater can be utilized to address needs where use potable is not necessary. Therefore, smart systems f...

This paper reports on the analysis of Pathfinder AVHRR land (PAL) data set that spans the period July 1981 to September 1994. The time series of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data for land areas north of 45 N assembled by correcting the PAL data with spectral methods confirms the northerly greening trend and extension of the photosynthetically active growing season. Analysis of ...

Vegetation height is one of the leading dimensions of ecological variations among tree species and is central to ecosystem functioning [1]. Since its launch in 2003, GLAS (Geoscience Laser Altimeter System) on board ICESat (Ice, Cloud,and land Elevation Satellite) has produced unprecedented dataset at the global scale [2]. However, the challenge to retrieve canopy height from large-footprint sa...
