Determining the feasibility of a large-scale afforestation program is one approach being investigated by the Government of Canada to increase Canada's potential to sequester carbon from the atmosphere. Large-scale afforestation, however, requires knowledge of where it is suitable to establish and grow trees. Spatial models based on Boolean logic and/or statistical models within a geographic inf...

land use maps are the most essential information in the hand of natural resources managers.in the present research, to prepare dahat abbas land use map, landsat etm+ (1386) data was used. the image was geometrically corrected with root mean square error of less than 0.47. for classification, artificial neural network, support vector machine and maximum likelihood methods were used.finally, thel...

On a land suitability assessment map that is derived from an overlay of n parent maps, each bearing k land capability categories, how many permutations of land suitability scores can there be when the scores are calculated by the commonly used rating and weighting method? In this paper, we estimate that this number is between k n(n−1) 2 and kn+1!/(kn!kn−1! · · · k!)k−1.

LSP suitability maps support geographic decision making by providing an efficient framework for evaluating multiple attributes, aggregating the evaluation results, and creating a map that graphically represents the overall suitability of locations for a given purpose. In this paper, we consider elementary LSP suitability map criteria for evaluating a distribution of points of interests (POIs) i...

Abstarct: Heat stress becomes a problem in different parts of the world and recently was considered as a threat to apiculture. Many countries suffer from extreme heat during certain periods of the year. There is a great diversity in the weather of Saudi Arabia throughout the year but the most extreme conditions occur during the summer season, when apiculture copes with extreme heat. Not all reg...

Land evaluation procedure given by FAO for soil site suitability for various land utilization types for rainfed agriculture has been used to assess the land suitability for khasi mandarin orange and pineapple in East Khasi Hills District of Meghalaya. The database on soil and land use/land cover was generated from IRS-P6 remote sensing satellite data, soil survey and laboratory analysis of soil...
