Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Land Cover Change
The goal of this work is to monitor urban growth and the drivers of urban expansion in Chengdu, China. Between 1978 and 2002, the municipal population increased from 8 to 10.2 million and GDP grew seven-fold, changes which have had profound impacts on land cover. To address these issues, this research involves two tasks. First, we monitor land cover change using a supervised, multi-date decisio...
متن کاملInvestigation of the process of land cover change using metrics and land change processes in Gorganrood watershed
Aims and Background: The present study purpose to investigate and predict the changes of metrics and Landscape change processes in the Gorganrood watershed in Golestan province. Methodology: First, land cover maps were prepared in 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020. Then predict land cover changes for future conditions, under two scenarios (1) continuation of the current trend of change for 2040 and (...

متن کاملSynthesis in land change science: methodological patterns, challenges, and guidelines
Global and regional economic and environmental changes are increasingly influencing local land-use, livelihoods, and ecosystems. At the same time, cumulative local land changes are driving global and regional changes in biodiversity and the environment. To understand the causes and consequences of these changes, land change science (LCS) draws on a wide array synthetic and meta-study techniques...
متن کاملImpact of urban land cover change on land surface temperature
The rapid growth in urban population is seen to create a need for the development of more urban infrastructures. In order to meet this need, natural surfaces such as vegetation are been replaced with non-vegetated surfaces such as asphalt and bricks which has the ability to absorb heat and release it later. This change in land cover is seen to increase the land surface temperature. Previous stu...
