River floodplains such as the Barotse Flood Plain (BFP) in Western Zambia, provide a large number of ecosystem services and economic value for the inhabitants. Yet, in spite of its importance, the Floodplain has been vulnerable to land use change threatening wetland degradation albeit it being ...
Global population growth and increasing standards of living inevitably cause the expansion and intensification of global agricultural land use to fulfil growing demands for food, biofuel and other commodities1,2,3. In turn, agriculture expansion and intensification threaten ecosystem functioning and lead t...
From 1990 to 2015 the decline of natural forest cover in countries like Tanzania, Kenya, and Zambia occurred at an annual rate of 1 to 2%, according to Guzha et al. (2018). This has happened to meet land demand for agriculture and human settlements (Maitima et al., 2009). Less is ...
Although our understanding of the individual and combined impacts of air pollution and climate change factors is improving, the adaptation of crop production to concurrent air pollution and climate change remains challenging to resolve. Here we evaluate recent advances in the adaptation of crop ...
We introduce an automated change detection and delineation tool for remote sensing images: the Land-cover Change Mapper (LCM). LCM rapidly generates a polygon vector layer (shapefile) of regions deemed to have undergone significant change in land-cover. In its simplest usage, LCM requires two sin...
