Mapping Prosopis juliflora in West Somaliland with Landsat 8 Satellite Imagery and Ground Information

Evaluation of Matched Filter method for wind erosion mapping Landsat 8 OLI Imagery, (Central and North West province of Khuzestan)

Successful target detection, especially if there is a similarity between the target and the background area, always is a noticeable issue in remote sensing studies. Because of the spectral behavior similarity to the other phenomena and spatial distribution of these units, the mapping of wind erosion units is difficult. Thus, this study attempts to detect the favorable areas by using matched fil...

Mapping post-disturbance forest landscape composition with Landsat satellite imagery

Comparing the Capability of Sentinel 2 and Landsat 8 Satellite Imagery in Land Use and Land Cover Mapping Using Pixel-based and Object-based Classification Methods

Introduction: Having accurate and up-to-date information on the status of land use and land cover change is a key point to protecting natural resources, sustainable agriculture management and urban development. Preparing the land cover and land use maps with traditional methods is usually time and cost consuming. Nowadays satellite imagery provides the possibility to prepare these maps in less ...

Dust source mapping using satellite imagery and machine learning models

Predicting dust sources area and determining the affecting factors is necessary in order to prioritize management and practice deal with desertification due to wind erosion in arid areas. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the application of three machine learning models (including generalized linear model, artificial neural network, random forest) to predict the vulnerability of dust cent...

Effects of Inclusion of Ground Prosopis juliflora Pod on Fertility and Hatchability of White Leghorn Hens

Chickens are kept in many parts of the world irrespective of climate, traditions, life standard, and there is no religious taboo related to consumption of eggs and chicken meat like those for pig meat [1]. To the poor majority people of rural areas, chickens serve as an immediate source of meat and income when money is needed for urgent family requirement [2]. It renders a significant contribut...
