Forest fire susceptibility and risk mapping using remote sensing and geographical information systems (GIS) can be an important tool to take immediate measures in near real time by the Provincial/State Forest Departments in an automated manner and can help in retaining the structure of forest type ...

Study area The research was conducted in the province of Loja, canton Loja, in the Indigenous parish of San Lucas in southern Ecuador (3° 44′ 47.64″ south and 79° 15′ 58.45″ west) (Fig. 1). The ecosystem is classified as humid montane forest (HMF) with the presence of herbaceous...
Although it seems impossible to control natural disasters, it is possible to reduce the potential risk of forest fires by analysing the contributing factors and developing forest fire risk maps. In order to investigate forest fire events and take necessary measures, a wellprepared fire risk map is...
Forest protection committees (FPCs) form the core of joint forest management in the open access forests of West Bengal, India, and proliferated enormously during the 1980s. However, their impact in terms of forest regeneration has been marginal. It thus appears necessary to take a good look at...
The magnitude of this change can reach + 22.1% (forest) and -9.2% (farmland) from 2010 until 2100, respectively. We found that the negative impact of climate change on landslide susceptibility is greater than the stabilizing effect of LULC change, leading to an over decrease in stability ...

ForestecosystemsIndiaClimatechangeForestsPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a framework for estimating the costs of adaptation to climate change impacts on ecosystems.Design/methodology/approach – While existing studies on costing adaptation base themselves on either the financial flows ...
First, the factors affecting the occurrence and spread of forest fires are selected to train the classifier; then, the trained classifier is used to compute the probability of fire occurrence of each cell in the study area. Most studies of this nature focus on using a new ensemble algorithm ...
