Bryophytes, a paraphyletic group which includes liverworts, mosses, and hornworts, have been stated as land plants that under metal stress (particularly cadmium) do not synthesize metal-binding peptides such as phytochelatins. Moreover, very little information is available to date regarding phytochelatin synthesis in charophytes, postulated to be the direct ancestors of land plants, or in lycop...

Urban sprawl is one of the main problems that threaten the limited highly fertile land in the Nile Delta of Egypt. In this research, satellite images Landsat TM 1993, ETM+ 2001 and Egypt Sat-1, 2009 has been used to study the urban sprawl and its impact on agricultural land in Qalubiya Governorate. Maximum likelihood supervised classification and post-classification change detection techniques ...

In this research, a technique to estimate the volume change by using Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) is proposed to retrieve the volume change of long-term continuously land deformation (subsidence or uplift). This technique is employed to investigate subsidence of Bandung city, Indonesia to demonstrate the capability of this technique by assessing two Japanese L ...

modeling and prediction of land use/cover changes is an essential need for planning sustainable use of land in country like iran with its high level of changes in land uses and land covers. this study aimed to analyze the capability of ca markov prediction model and landsat satellite images for land use/cover change detection within the framework of “iran at 1404 prospective” in esfarayen r...

urban expansion and agriculture intensification are relevant drivers in land degradation (ld)processes in europe due to net loss of land, soil sealing, landscape fragmentation and other negative effects on the environment. this paper explores changes (or “trajectories” of change) in land use and cover (lulc) and their relationship with the consumption of soils in emilia-romagna (northern italy)...

Land use/cover change (LUCC), which results from the complex interaction of social, ecological and geophysical processes, is a major issue and the main cause of global environmental change. This study analyzed the land use/cover dynamics and their environmental and socio-political forces in the upper reaches of Yangtze River from 1980 to 2000 by using remote sensing, climatic and socio-economic...
