Monitoring Sparse Perennial Vegetation Cover
In Australia, remotely sensed Landsat TM data is routinely used for mapping and monitoring the change in extent of woody perennial vegetation cover providing information for conservation, land management and for modelling carbon flux and water use. For a variety of reasons including land cover definitions and sensor spectral limitations, studies have tended to focus on reporting changes in land...
متن کاملSaving for an uncertain future.
T he units that are subject to selection pressure in evolutionary biology are ‘‘strategies,’’ which are conditional actions (for example, do P if X occurs; otherwise do Q). In contrast, the units in economics (they are called ‘‘people’’) select strategies from available menus so as to further their projects and purposes. If evolutionary dynamics involves mindless competition among strategies, e...
متن کاملA Total Ratio of Vegetation Index (TRVI) for Shrubs Sparse Cover Delineating in Open Woodland
Persian juniper and Pistachio are grown in low density in the rangelands of North-East of Iran. These rangelands are populated by evergreen conifers, which are widespread and present at low-density and sparse shrub of pistachio in Iran, that are not only environmentally but also genetically essential as seed sources for pistachio improvement in orchards. Rangelands offer excellent opportunities...
متن کاملFractional Vegetation Cover Estimation In Urban Environments
Quality of life in urban environments is closely related to vegetation cover. The Urban growth and its related environmental problems, planners are forced to implement policies to improve the quality of urban environment. Thus, vegetation mapping for planning and managing urban is critical. Given the spectral complexity of the urban environment and the sparse vegetation in these areas, to gener...
متن کاملVegetation Cover Change Analyses in Norway
* Corresponding author. ** This work has been sponsored by the Norwegian Space Centre and the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management Abstract – Various change analyses based on remote sensing data have been made in different parts of Norway. The objective is to develop robust methods for detecting long term changes in vegetation cover based on monitoring intervals from three to five years....
