One of the primary interests of the Earth Observing System (EOS) program is to study the role of terrestrial vegetation in large-scale global processes with the goal of understanding how the Earth functions as a system. This requires an understanding of the global distribution of vegetation types as well as their biophysical and structural properties and spatial/temporal variations. Vegetation ...

Himalaya is a vast and diverse mountain system. Agro forestry land use covering (20%) of geographical area of Indian Himalayas is distributed as patches in the matrix of forest covering (52%) area. Forest based treecrop livestock integrated farming is the predominant traditional land use in central Himalayas.1 Hill agriculture appears to be key threat to soil biodiversity and ecosystem service ...

regarding the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease (cvd) especially myocardial infarction (mi), and the insufficiency of information in the field of physical rehabilitation, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a course of physical rehabilitation on the psychological status and physical characteristics f cardiac patients. in this study, the effect of 8 weeks exercise ...

In arid and semi-arid environments like the rest parts of South Africa, the state of vegetation density in catchments is an important indicator of the state of the environment. Climate variability coupled with different anthropogenic activities could affect vegetation cover at varying levels. The Upper Molopo River Catchment (UMRC) in the North West Province of South Africa is under this combin...

Improving biodiversity conservation in fragmented agricultural landscapes has become an important global issue. Vegetation at the patch and landscape-scale is important for species occupancy and diversity, yet few previous studies have explored multi-scale associations between vegetation and community assemblages. Here, we investigated how patch and landscape-scale vegetation cover structure wo...

the effect of exclosure on the changes of vegetation cover of rangelands of ahmad-abad region located in zanjan province has been studied during 2002 to 2006. three transects comprises of 60 fixed quadrate were establish within exclosure area and outside as well. the changes of vegetation cover were studied to made comparison between the changes of manipulated factors and soil elements using t ...

Currently there is a lack of quantitative information regarding the driving factors of vegetation dynamics in post-Soviet Central Asia. Insufficient knowledge also exists concerning vegetation variability across sub-humid to arid climatic gradients as well as vegetation response to different land uses, from natural rangelands to intensively irrigated croplands. In this study, we analyzed the en...

Validating model simulations of vegetation-climate feedback needs information not only on changes in past vegetation types as reconstructed by palynologists, but also on other proxies such as vegetation cover. We present here a quantitative regional vegetation cover reconstruction for North China during the Holocene. The reconstruction was based on 15 high-quality lake sediment profiles selecte...

Vegetation studies helps to develop a profile on extensive areas affected by vegetation changes. Image processing techniques does manipulation of digital images for various applications. The satellite image processing is increasingly used for vegetation mapping. Now a day‟s both multi spectral sensors and hyper spectral sensors are used for vegetation monitoring. General Terms Remote sensing, V...
