Abstract:

Tropical evergreen forests represent the richest biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems, and the fine spatial-temporal resolution mapping of these forests is essential for the study and conservation of this vital natural resource. The current methods for mapping tropical evergreen forests frequently exhibit coarse spatial resolution and lengthy production cycles. This can be attributed to the inherent challenges associated with monitoring diverse surface changes and the persistence of cloudy, rainy conditions in the tropics. We propose a novel approach to automatically map annual 10 m tropical

Forest cover in term of distribution, extent and types, is major information required to manage the forest resources. Notably for Indonesia, which covers by approximately 98 Mha (>50%) forests, consist of 93 Mha (49.6%) natural forest and 5 Mha (2.6%) plantations forest. The forests are invaluable, including significantly preserve carbon, maintain unique biodiversity, support water and mineral cycle, as well as support local and global community.

Abstract:

India is endowed with a rich forest cover. Over 21 % of country's area is covered by forest of varied composition and structure. Due to large amount of carbon stored in forests and their role in land surface and climatic processes, it is important to monitor forests for effective management and modeling studies. The disturbance regimes associated with forest regeneration and recovery, occurring in a heterogeneous matrix of confounding land covers makes forest monitoring an involved and complex task. Over a 13 year period (2000–2013), detection of forest cover loss at regional scale using a coa

AbstractInvasive alien species are a major threat to global biodiversity due to the tremendous ecological and economic damage they cause in forestry, agriculture, wetlands, and pastoral resources. Understanding the spatial pattern of invasive alien species and disentangling the biophysical drivers of invasion at the forest stand level is essential for managing forest ecosystems and the wider landscape. However, forest-level and species-specific information on Invasive Alien Plant Species (IAPS) abundance and their spatial extent are largely lacking. In this context, we analysed the cover of on

Forests are threatened globally by deforestation. Forest restoration at the landscape scale can reduce these threats. Ground-based and remote sensing inventories are needed to assess restoration success.

Various studies on the fractional cover of forest have been published. However, none has yet conducted a bibliometric analysis.

Therefore, investigating the impacts of PFM on forest covers is important. To this end, our research is based on an analysis of the land use/land cover change

Abstract:

Accurate acquisition of the spatiotemporal distribution of urban forests and fragmentation (e.g., interior and intact regions) is of great significance to contributing to the mitigation of climate change and the conservation of habitat biodiversity. However, the spatiotemporal pattern of urban forest cover changes related with the dynamics of interior and intact forests from the present to the future have rarely been characterized. We investigated fragmentation of urban forest cover using satellite observations and simulation models in the Nanjing Laoshan Region of Jiangbei New Area, Jiangsu,

Abstract. Forests are important to people, wildlife and climate. Yet, not all forests are healthy throughout time. Unhealthy forests are providing fewer services and productions to people, harbouring less biodiversity and regulating less climate. Here, the preliminary findings are presented in a literature review on remote sensing measuring the changes in forest cover and the health of forest and of trees in Southeastern Europe including Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia.

Abstract:We compared exotic pasture grass cover near the edges of 20–25-y-old secondary forests (N = 8) with those of mature forests (N = 8), bordering actively grazed pastures on the Pacific Coast of Ecuador. We estimated grass cover in 224 1 × 3-m plots along transects that ran from the pasture edge into forest interiors (11–44 m). Using a spline regression, we divided the transects into three segments: exterior (in the pasture), edge and interior (in the forest). With a stepwise regression, we tested the effect of transect section, forest type and distance from edge on grass cover. Forest t

Abstract:

Global tree cover products face challenges in accurately predicting tree cover across biophysical gradients, such as precipitation or agricultural cover. To generate a natural forest cover map for Costa Rica, biases in tree cover estimation in the most widely used tree cover product (the Global Forest Change product (GFC) were quantified and corrected, and the impact of map biases on estimates of forest cover and fragmentation was examined. First, a forest reference dataset was developed to examine how the difference between reference and GFC-predicted tree cover estimates varied along gradien

DWM were sampled by forest type and structure class using US Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) field procedures. DWM averaged 12–16 tn/ac depending

One of the forest ecosystem types surrounding the Nusantara landscape is the heath forest ecosystem, also known as Kerangas. Heath forest is a rare and extreme habitat, thriving in nutrient-poor environments characterized by low pH, quartz sand soil, and podsol soil. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the heath forest in East Kalimantan, particularly in the Nusantara region. This research aims to map the location and characteristics of the

Protected forests are very important to support human life and the environment. One way to determine the condition of protected forests is through land cover. The aim of the research is to determine the condition of the vegetation on the land cover. The research method follows the circular plot method inventory procedure. The data analyzed includes density, the Important Value Index to test the density and level of dominance of vegetation types in an area and the Shannon Wiener Index to test the level of diversity of vegetation types. The highest density value in Primary Dry Land Forest is 15.

Abstract:

Abstract China's forest cover increased from 8.6% in 1949 to 18.21% in 2003. The change of forest cover in China can be characterized in three stages: (1) transition stage (1949–1981), (2) slow increase stage (1982–1993), and (3) rapid increase stage (1994–2003). Afforestation is the primary factor increasing forest cover in China. Cumulative areas of afforestation in China from 1949 to 2003 were 241 million ha, of which 90 million ha eventually established as plantation forests, i.e., about 37% of the afforested area reach forest status.

Birds were distance-sampled during point counts in five dry-forest fragments in Panama. Distance from point count to forest edge and forest coverage at three spatial scales (500, 1000 and 2000-m radius) were compared as covariate predictors of the abundance of avian species and guilds. Each covariate was selected in at least two models of species or guild abundance. Abu

Compared with open clearing sites, shortwave radiation was much reduced under forest cover, resulting in smaller differences in melt timin
