the preparation of vegetation cover maps by used the land inventory and a traditional method has a lot of cost and time. but today, remote sensing is one of the main sources of data collection and information production for study and monitoring land resources, and was efficient tools for providing quickly and timely data and information needs for program planning in the natural resource filed. ...

abstract evapotranspiration (et) determination is a key factor for irrigation scheduling, water balance, irrigation system design and management and crop yields simulation. therefore many scientists have tried to estimate evapotranspiration in different spatial and temporal scales. remote sensing is a one of new technique in estimation of et in regional scales. so, in this study it’s tried to e...

Phytoplankton size class variation is a good indicator of water dynamics changes, alga blooms or ecosystem change, for it usually corresponds to different phytoplankton group composition. Remote sensing technique is a very effective method for studying phytoplankton at large scale by virtue of synoptic view and large area cover. Here we detected seasonal and annual phytoplankton size class vari...

Analyzing the process of land use and cover changes during long periods of time and predicting the future changes is highly important and useful for the land use managers. In this study, the land use maps in the Ardabil plain in north-west part of Iran for four periods (1989, 1998, 2009 and 2013) are extracted and analyzed through remote sensing technique, using the land-sat satellite images. T...

one of the influential tools concerning the rangeland and vegetation sciences isthe technology of remote sensing and satellite data. satellite data have played essentialroles in preparing the needed information for studying the vegetation. vegetation has beenwidely recognized as one of the best indicators for determining the land conditions. usingvegetation indices is one of the techniques of r...

snow cover area is one of the most important criteria to calculate snow melt runoff. this can have an effect on the biology of the plant and the environment of a region. using the catchment basin physical characteristic to calculate snow cover area is a conventional method, though its accuracy is not good enough. most of the useful methods in calculating snow cover area are based on satellite i...

Based on remote sensing images, the panoramic views of land coverage distribution across a large geographic area can be accessed conveniently. Remote sensing monitoring system of land coverage change in mining area, which is a complex information system based on spatial database to manage multi-source heterogeneous data, was proposed in this article. The system structure, function and developme...
