Spatiotemporal patterns of paddy rice croplands in China and India from 2000 to 2015
Due to rapid population growth and urbanization, paddy rice agriculture is experiencing substantial changes in the spatiotemporal pattern of planting areas in the two most populous countries—China and India—where food ...
Tracking the dynamics of paddy rice planting areas through analysis of time series Landsat images
Paddy rice agriculture affects food supply, climate, water, biodiversity, and ecosystems. It varies substantially over time and space, for example, continuous expansion in northeastern China and rapid loss in southern China ...
Mapping paddy rice planting areas through time series analysis of MODIS land surface temperature and vegetation index data
management of water resources, and estimation of greenhouse gas (methane) emissions. Paddy rice agriculture
has expanded rapidly in northeastern China in the last decade, but there are no updated maps of
paddy rice fields ...
Tracking the dynamics of paddy rice planting area in 1986–2010 through time series Landsat images and phenology-based algorithms
Agricultural land use change substantially affects climate,water, ecosystems, biodiversity, and humanwelfare. In
recent decades, due to increasing population and food demand and the backdrop of global warming, croplands
have ...
Exacerbated grassland degradation and desertification in Central Asia during 2000–2014
Grassland degradation and desertification is a complex process, including both
state conversion (e.g., grasslands to deserts) and gradual within-state change (e.g., greenness
dynamics). Existing studies hardly separated ...
Mapping paddy rice planting area in northeastern Asia with Landsat 8 images, phenology-based algorithm and Google Earth Engine
Area and spatial distribution information of paddy rice are important for understanding of food security, water use, greenhouse gas emission, and disease transmission. Due to climatic warming and increasing food demand, ...
Mapping deciduous rubber plantations through integration of PALSAR and multi-temporal Landsat imagery
Due to increasing global demand for natural rubber products, rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantation expansion
has occurred in many regions where it was originally considered unsuitable. However, accurate maps
of rubber ...
Mapping forests in monsoon Asia with ALOS PALSAR 50-m mosaic images and MODIS imagery in 2010
Extensive forest changes have occurred in monsoon Asia, substantially affecting climate, carbon cycle
and biodiversity. Accurate forest cover maps at fine spatial resolutions are required to qualify and
quantify these ...
