Weathering and transport of potentially acid generating material (PAGM) at abandoned mines can degrade downstream environments contaminate water resources. Monitoring the thousands mine lands (AMLs) for exposed PAGM using field surveys is time intensive. Here, we explore use Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPASs) as a complementary remote sensing platform to map spatial temporal changes across...

For an optimum use of natural resources in the sustainable development trend, there is a need to identify ecological resources in the shortest period of time and minimum possible cost. In this article, we aimed Management ecosystem by Assessment of plant covers changes at Taleghan Township in a twenty year period. Percentage of landscape and number of patch were among the metrics that were calc...

Enrichment planting in naturally recovering secondary forests or in tree plantations is increasingly being used as strategy to restore later-successional, large-seeded tropical forest trees. We seeded two tree species (Otoba novogranatensis and Ruagea glabra) in three agricultural sites in Southern Costa Rica: abandoned pastures, eight to ten year old secondary forests and three year old tree p...

The process of secondary succession on degraded lands in the Amazon depends on their land-use histories. In this scenario, little is known about how animal communities respond to different types of secondary vegetation in the region. We examined the effects of abandoned cattle pasture, Vismiaand Cecropia-dominated regrowth on the abundance of bat species and community composition in the Central...
