Wetlands are most important and valuable ecosystem for maintaining biodiversity on the planet. In present scenario wetlands are vulnerable to climate change and land conversion activities like agriculture and urbanization. Due to their important fine temporal scale monitoring of sensitive wetlands are required. For this purpose few tools are specified to monitor the wetland at landscape scale. ...

The Remote Sensing Group at the University of Arizona has used ground-based test sites for the vicarious calibration of airborne and satellite-based sensors, of which the Railroad Valley Playa in north central Nevada has played a key role. This work presents a cross comparison of five satellite-based sensors that all imaged this playa on July 16, 2001. These sensors include the Advanced Land Im...

Many sea turtle nesting colonies are in decline worldwide, and a common conservation practice maximizes hatchling production by translocating eggs from threatened nests to protective beach hatcheries. Typically, translocated eggs are ‘doomed’, or at risk of death due to tidal inundation, predation, or poaching. Sea turtles exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination. We determined how prima...

This paper presents a scenario-based approach to strategic environmental assessment (SEA) for wetland trend analysis and land use and land cover (LUC) modeling in an urban environment. The application is focused on the Saskatoon urban environment, a rapidly growing urban municipality in Canada’s prairie pothole region. Alternative future LUC was simulated using remote sensing data and city spat...

A utility-theoretic model indicates that mitigation prices for wetland ecosystems depend on preferences and technical knowledge. Empirical analysis found gaps in respondents’ knowledge about such ecosystems. Valuing wetland types requires dealing with respondents’ possible misinformation, by developing tools for informing respondents or by combining service-based valuations with valid technical...

Mechanisms of natural attenuation of arsenic (As) by wetland plants may be classified by plant uptake and adsorption and/or co-precipitation by iron (oxy)hydroxide formed on the root surface of plants or in rhizosediment. A natural Cattail (Typha spp.) wetland impacted by tailings containing high levels of As from the Myungbong abandoned Au Mine, South Korea was selected, and the practical capa...

This paper presents results of hydro-chemical processes controlling groundwater chemical composition, using an integrated application of hierarchical cluster analysis and factor analysis of a major ion data set of groundwater from Mighan playa aquifer. Cluster analysis classified samples into four clusters(A, B, C and D) according to their dominant chemical composition: cluster A (dominant comp...

a r t i c l e i n f o The increasing fragmentation and degradation tendency of estuarine wetlands due to rapid urbanization in coastal areas exert the urgent need to quantify the structural characteristic of wetland network, which involves the fragmentized wetland patches for wetland restoration and conservation. Although wetland networks have already been used for conservation planning on a re...

PURPOSE: One of many potential uses of the hydrogeomorphic (HGM) approach for assessing wetland functions is the monitoring of newly restored wetland sites to determine how quickly wetland functions develop and whether function-based mitigation objectives are being met. This technical note presents a case study of the application of the Western Kentucky Low-Gradient Riverine Guidebook to monito...

Wetland, as one of the weakest ecosystems in the world, is deteriorating rapidly in many regions. Longfeng wetland is the biggest urban wetland in China, located in the inner of Daqing city, Heilongjiang Province. It is divided into two areas by Wolong road, the east is provincial natural reserve and the west is unprotected. This paper describes a remote sensing change detection approach used t...
