Modern rapidly expanding cities generate intricate patterns of species diversity owing to immense complexity in urban spatial structure and current growth trajectories. We propose to identify and uncouple the drivers that give rise to these patterns by looking at the effect of urbanism on species diversity over a previously unexplored long temporal frame that covers early developments in urbani...

Retrieving information from remotely sensed data is an important task. In the present work, data of L band microwave radiometer has been used to collect the brightness temperature over bare and vegetated fields in two polarizations at different moisture levels. Artificial neural network (ANN) trained with Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm has been used to determine soil moisture from brightness tem...

This study explores the influence of land-use and land cover (LULC) changes on temperature over North India (NI) North-Eastern (NEI) during 1981–2006 by subtracting reanalysis from observed (observation minus (OMR) method). The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data AVHRR satellite for period were analyzed to understand type LULC this their linkage with change two regions. results O...

Soil moisture estimation studies using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) routinely utilise only the amplitude part of the received echo. In this study, repeat-pass Cand L-band interferometric SAR coherence from 2007 2009 was evaluated for the detection of surface soil moisture changes in the presence of vegetation using two different approaches. In the first analysis, the association between low c...

Sub-Pixel Offset Tracking (sPOT) is applied to derive high-resolution centimetre-level landslide rates in the Three Gorges Region of China using TerraSAR-X Hi-resolution Spotlight (TSX HS) space-borne SAR images. These results contrast sharply with previous use of conventional differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) techniques in areas with steep slopes, dense vegetation ...

Invasion by non-native tree species is an environmental and societal challenge requiring predictive tools to assess invasion dynamics. The frequent scale mismatch between such tools and on-ground conservation is currently limiting invasion management. This study aimed to reduce these scale mismatches, assess the success of non-native tree invasion and determine the environmental factors associa...

The quantity and quality of runoff from green roofs have so far been studied using an extensive vegetated roof (substrate depth > 150 mm). However, studies on various substrate depths vegetation for phytoremediation in temperate monsoon climates, where heavy rain is concentrated a specific season, are limited. Therefore, the purpose this study was to investigate combined effects unfertilized...

The essential roles of trees in controlling the local climatic variation, such as air moisture, are still interesting to observe. Therefore, this study must deliver knowledge benefits growing and enhance people's awareness climate change adaptation. Here, analysis requires several data fields hemispherical photography, an aerial photograph a UAV, temperature collected using wet dry bulb thermom...

Batu City has positioned itself as a center for organic agriculture based on international tourism, and, consistent with its vision in the Regional Spatial Plan 2010-2030, city will become of Tourism and Agropolitanism East Java. From 2015 to 2020, increasingly developed, especially tourism sector. The increased number sites indirectly illustrated changes land use. availability relatively fixed...
