Satellites Present a Better Picture of DeforestationDina Fine Maron, ClimateWire
However, not all of these patchwork tapestries showed political or denouncing subject matter: Some painted the picture of an ‘idealized’ life which the women would have wished to have, with happy children, peaceful landscapes, flourishing markets and a good health care system, etc. – in short...
As for precipitation, most simulations show a decrease in annual mean precipitation in response to regional deforestation in all three climate zones. Also, the physical conditions of the land surface effect the state of the atmosphere. Snow, for instance, increases the albedo (Qu and Hall 2014)...
principally broilers, over the past 60 years: in the early-1960s, poultry meat consumption was around 3% of global meat total, with the principal spoils shared between pork and beef; ten years ago, the transformed picture showed pig and poultry meat sharing 74% of meat consumption...
Thus, it remains difficult to obtain a complete picture of the behavior of terrestrial carbon, water, and energy cycles simultaneously, as well as their underlying processes. Uncoupled schemes may overlook key dynamics of essential land biophysical processes (Maxwell and Miller, 2005), and using ...
This article addresses the topic of shaded spaces through the collection and evaluation of a corpus of 94 articles published between 1990 and 2024. This work has some limitations, particularly related to the difficulty of giving a clear picture of the wide range of studies that touch upon the ...
Land-use change is a direct driver of biodiversity loss, projection and future land use change often consider a topical issue in response to climate change. Yet few studies have projected land-use changes over Africa, owing to large uncertainties. We pro
They found shotgun sequencing to be very inefficient due to the high number of reads required to obtain a clear picture of biodiversity, but the tree-of-life methodology was able to detect 287 taxa across the major eukaryotic divisions (animals, fungi, protozoa, plantae, chromista, bacteria, ...
If there is little variation, then that area of the picture will appear smooth. If there is a lot of variation, that area can be said to have texture. A large number of algorithms exist for determining texture values (Atkinson and Lewis, 2000; Jensen, 2016, pp. 340–350) but one of...
It is also helpful in showing the relationship in and between them. If we have many ideas, we can use this kind of map to put them into different groups. A lot of people studying history and science are likely to use thes...
