Enhancing the performance of regional land cover mapping
Different pixel-based, object-based and subpixel-based methods such as time-series analysis, decision-tree, and different supervised approaches have been proposed to conduct land use/cover classification.However, despite ...
Use Remote Sensing To Map Soil Salinity in the Musaib Area in Central Iraq
Salinity has constituted one of the major problematic issues for agricultural production in Iraq. It is hence essential to develop some rational and reliable approach to conduct salinity mapping and assessment. Recently, ...
Using remote sensing to assess impacts of land management policies in the Ordos rangelands in China
Implementation of land management policies influences land use and hence
causes environmental change. Taking the Ordos rangelands in China as a case
study, this paper explores the potential of remote sensing to assess in ...
Mapping soil salinity changes using remote sensing in Central Iraq
Salinization is a common problem for agriculture in dryland environments and it has greatly affected land productivity
and even caused cropland abandonment in Central and Southern Iraq. Hence it is of pressing importance ...
Assessing the Effectiveness Of Land Restoration Interventions In Dry Lands By Multitemporal Remote Sensing - A Case Study in Ouled Dlim (Marrakech, Morocco)
Atriplex nummularia has been extensively planted in Northern Africa to combat desertification. However, few studies evaluated the effectiveness of these interventions. This study aimed at assessing the dynamic performance ...
The Generalized Difference Vegetation Index (GDVI) for Dryland Characterization
A large number of vegetation indices have been developed and widely applied
in terrestrial ecosystem research in the recent decades. However, a certain limitation was
observed while applying these indices in research in ...
Assessing woody biomass in African tropical savannahs by multiscale remote sensing
Woody biomass production is a critical indicator in evaluation of land use management
and the dynamics of the global carbon cycle (sequestration/emission) in
terrestrial ecosystems. The objective of the present study was ...
Soil Salinity Mapping by Multiscale Remote Sensing in Mesopotamia, Iraq
Soil salinity has become one of the major problems affecting crop production and food security in Mesopotamia, Iraq. There is a pressing need to quantify and map the spatial extent and distribution of salinity in the country ...
