Estimation of above-ground biomass in tropical afro-montane forest using Sentinel-2 derived indicesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 Số 1 - 2022
Seid Muhe, Mekuria Argaw
AbstractEmpirical analyses were common methods for forest biomass estimation.
Lately, satellite images are popularly used to study different attributes of
forest vegetation. Sentinel-2 image provides a significant improvement in
spectral coverage, spatial resolution and temporal frequency in assessing forest
biomass. This study examined the potential use of multispectral (MS) bands,
vegetation ind... hiện toàn bộ
Analyzing the impact of environmental variables on the repayment time for solar farms under feed-in tariffSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 1-13 - 2013
Bin Lu, Matt Davison
Environmental concerns have promoted the rise of low emissions “green” power
technologies such as solar power. In part to make these technologies of economic
interest to investors, many green energy policies have been proposed, and a wide
variety of green energy developments have been launched which take advantage of
these policies. This paper studies the impact of the unpredictable solar
insolati... hiện toàn bộ
A hierarchical analysis of ecosystem classification with implementing in two continental ecoregionsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-14 - 2021
YanQing Zhang
The ecosystem classification of land (ECL) has been studied for a couple of
decades, from the beginning of the perfect organism system “top-down” approach
to a reversed “bottom-up” approach by defining a micro-ecological unit. After
comparing two cases of the ecosystem classification framework implemented in the
different continental ecoregions, the processes were carefully examined and
justified.... hiện toàn bộ
Variations in ecosystem service value in response to land use changes in Dhaka and Gazipur Districts of BangladeshSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 1-17 - 2023
Raihan Sorker, Mohammad Wahidur Khan, Alamgir Kabir, Nowshin Nawar
Urban sprawl is a global phenomenon that has resulted in a substantial impact on
ecosystem services. This study assessed how land use changes have affected the
ecosystem services in Dhaka and Gazipur districts, two important economic
centers of Bangladesh. This study analyzed changes in land use categories and
their effects on ecosystem services during a thirty-year period, from 1990 to
2020, usin... hiện toàn bộ

Workat Sebnie, Enyew Adgo, Hailu Kendie
Assessment of suitable lands for irrigation is indispensable to plan and
implement different programs in a cost-effective approach for sustainable land
use planning and efficient utilization of the land. Hence selecting proper land
use based on land suitability evaluation will enhance the productivity per unit
area and ensures the sustainable use of land resources. Therefore, the research
was desi... hiện toàn bộ
Geo-hazards assessment of the new-found industrial communities: an example from the 10th of Ramadan Industrial Region, EgyptSpringer Science and Business Media LLC -
Ahmed E. El-Rayes, Mohamed O. Arnous, David R. Green, Norhan F. Gouda
AbstractThe impacts of Geo-hazard events are main obstacles to the use of land
in numerous arid and semi-arid provinces of the World. Furthermore, the various
activities of industrial communities, such as Egypt's 10th Ramadan Industrial
Region (10th RIR), are the most dangerous examples of waste's impact on soil,
surface water, and groundwater. The current study uses image processing and GIS
tools... hiện toàn bộ
Conceptual model for environmental science applications on parallel and distributed infrastructuresSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 1-16 - 2015
Denisa Rodila, Nicolas Ray, Dorian Gorgan
The global changes that are currently threatening the natural environment demand
appropriate answers and solutions by the environmental science community. The
increasing amount of heterogeneous data—Big Data—needed for that endeavor
typically requires large computational and storage resources. This manuscript
presents a general conceptual model for easily porting environmental
applications on diff... hiện toàn bộ
