Deforestation and fire incidence before and after settlements.Maurício, SchneiderCarlos, A. Peres
Before-event and afterevent measured data were compared in order to assess the impact of deforestation on hydrological regimes. Several characteristics were used including water balance, minimum and maximum runoff, runoff thresholds, number of runoff events, selected characteristics of events, runoff ...
making it either easier or more difficult for these forests to grow. Forest loss that causes regional warming and drying, for example, has the potential to contribute to positive carbon
Before and after “Before the Khmer Rouge, in my village, nobody spoke Khmer,” says Lorang*, a 58-year old survivor of the regime’s depredations. “My parents wore Bunong traditional clothes, but I and other young people wore a mix.” Khmer Rouge militias first came into Lorang’s ...
During these years, all of the large urban centers and governing systems of the Mediterranean, the Aegean, and most of Southwestern Asia, collapsed — leaving behind, after a period of turmoil and mass migration, the isolated village cultures of the Greek Dark Ages. This period of time saw ...
open-access global forest change dataset. By analysing 39 PAs over three years before and after Colombia’s peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), we found a dramatic and highly significant increase in the deforestation rate for the majority of these areas and ...
In theCatalogpane, clickRoadsand drag it onto the map. TheRoadslayer is added to the map. Note: When you add a layer from a geodatabase, it has random default symbology. The appearance of yourRoadslayer may vary from the example images. ...
cut down, the carbon dioxide that was stored in their trunks and leaves is released into the atmosphere, further contributing to the buildup of greenhouse gases. After trees are removed from a large piece of land, the carbon dioxide in that area can no longer be absorbed as it was before...
images7,15. However, the limitation of expert/sample-based visual interpretation is that it lacks detail and consistency in identifying and mapping the drivers over large regions and across time. This, in turn, causes a broad generalization of the drivers of forest loss and, thus, misses most...
Next, we organized our LANDSAT database into imagery acquired before and after seven major fire events noted in our literature search. We then searched for changes in the spectral reflectance of forests that were consistent with changes from high tree cover and species-rich forests to a ...
