Coastal urban ecosystems are becoming increasingly vulnerable to climate-induced disturbance and damage due to the escalating frequency and intensity of typhoons. This study employed an integrated approach of remote sens...

Accurate monitoring of non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) in coastal saltmarsh wetlands is crucial for understanding ecosystem functioning and carbon dynamics. Existing hyperspectral NPV indices are used to monitor NPV ...

Species distribution modeling has relevant implications for the studies of biodiversity, decision making about conservation and knowledge about ecological requirements of the species. The aim of this study was to evaluat...

Context and background  Rapid urbanization in Lagos metropolis, Nigeria, has led to significant changes in its urban climate, manifesting as Urban Heat Islands (UHIs). Goal and Objectives: This study assesses the...

Vegetation optical depth (VOD), as a key parameter of vegetation, plays an important role in the process of vegetation growth and change. The spaceborne Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) technolog...

The use of time series of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), obtained from satellite sensors has become frequent in studies for land degradation assessment and monitoring. Linear trends of NDVI are usually co...

Este trabalho foi realizado para determinar, entre seis índices de vegetação baseados em dados de refletância espectral, aquele que melhor discrimina doses de nitrogênio e que possui maior correlação com leituras ...

Questions: (1) Can above-ground net primary production (ANPP) of Patagonian meadows be estimated from remote sensing? (2) How does ANPP of Patagonian meadows change in space and time? Location: Northwestern Patagonia, me...

Rural abandonment is a global phenomenon promoted by biophysical, socio-economic, and socio-productive causes, leading to the disappearance of traditional agricultural practices and serious impacts on food security and l...

The primary objective of this study was to compare the density-based (OPTICS-Ordering Points To Identify the Clustering Structure) and graph-based (Spectral Clustering) algorithms for identifying Normalized Difference Ve...

Florida citrus growers need inexpensive methods to observe citrus plants to detect disease and stress consistently. Health vegetation indices, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) collected from Unma...

Mangrove ecosystems play a vital role in protecting coastlines, sequestering carbon, and sustaining coastal biodiversity. However, various pressures such as land conversion, abrasion, and human activities are causing deg...

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of roadside green infrastructure in reducing particulate matter-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PM-bound PAHs) in urban soils and to assess the associated human heal...

El crecimiento exponencial de la población mundial y la expansión urbana han afectado la vegetación en las ciudades, especialmente en regiones áridas. El objetivo del trabajo es comprender la relación entre la morfo...

This study investigates the intensity of Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect across Lahore District and its surrounding urban and peri-urban areas. Landsat satellite data were utilized t...

This is an ecological study that investigated the influence of environmental, socioeconomic characteristics and changes in land use and cover on the occurrence of Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (TL) in the city of Montes Clar...

Accurate soil moisture prediction is essential for advancing agricultural productivity, optimizing water resource management, and strengthening climate adaptation strategies, particularly in hydrologically vulnerable reg...

Aedes aegypti is the main vector for Chikungunya, Dengue, and Zika viruses in Latin America and it represents a main threat for our region. Taking into account this situation, several efforts have been done to use remote...

Relying on spring and summer rainfall, numerous Illinois farmers grow corn and soybeans. As a result, farmers cannot precisely manage their crops’ water intake and are interested in monitoring crop growth and unifo...

The shift from conventional irrigation methods to sprinkler systems is intended to improve accuracy and efficiency; however, it requires thorough validation of the uniformity of water distribution. This research focuses ...

Abstract Slope orientation creates microclimate by modulating water and heat flux between the land surface and the atmosphere, thereby regulating vegetation growth and its response to background climate change. However, ...

To overcome the limitations of traditional models to simulate discrete environmental variables, this study introduces a novel, integrated simulation framework: the Spatio-Temporal Integrated Geographic Generative Adversa...
