Progress towards sustainability demands recognizing nonlinear, time delayed interactions that are at the heart of dynamic integrated socioeconomic and biophysical systems. Sustainability and land change science communities have recognized the need to go beyond static and vague depictions of nonlinear feedback processes in the study of these integrated systems. But to date, there have been few a...

Land use/cover change (LUCC) is becoming more and frequent extensive as a result of human activities, expected to have major impact on welfare by altering ecosystem service value (ESV). In this study, we utilized remote sensing images statistical data explore the spatial-temporal changes land types ESV in northern slope economic belt Tianshan Mountains Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China fr...

Because of the influence climate change and human activities, an in-depth analysis land use/cover (LUCC) its drivers in Nepal is important for local community forestry management sustainable development. This paper analyzed direction, magnitude, rate LUCCs their spatial aggregation, as well landscape fragmentation Nepal, from 1995 to 2020 using ESA/CCI (European Space Agency Climate Change Init...

“Beijing 1” is one Micro-satellite of the international Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC). It was launched successfully in 2005, and has high-powered characteristic, such as high gaining data ability, high storage ability, high space resolution, high time resolution and low cost. At present it is necessary to make objective appraisal for image quality and application potential in differen...

introduction land use and land cover change (lucc) is a complex issue resulted from biophysical, socio-economic, cultural, organizational and technological factors in different spatial and temporal scales. lucc considered as an important threat to biodiversity as causing the fragmentation, natural vegetation destruction and natural areas isolation the regions which managed by environmental prot...

1 Summary This project aims to understand and model the social processes that contribute to large-scale deforestation in Amazonia. Biomass burning emissions associated with deforestation in the region are responsible for 74% of Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions and have an impact on global environmental changes. We argue that land changes in Amazonia are brought about by social and institutiona...

Accurate assessment and response analysis of land use cover change (LUCC), ecosystem service values (ESV), are critical to regional ecological security economic development. There is a lack detailed reports on the impact LUCC temporal spatial evolution ESV in Yinchuan City, which inconsistent with pilot urban design policy. This paper, using data City from 1980 2018, calculated ESV, analyzed pa...

the present study aims to simulate the spatial pattern of land use change in lisar protected area,iran. land cover maps for 1989, 2000, and 2007 were depicted using tm, etm+, and irs liss-iii images ofthe area at stake. images were classified using a merge of unsupervised and supervised classification. camarkov model was used to predict land cover maps as a top-down approach in investigating la...
