The Surinamese Rainforest region comprises Suriname's three inland administrative districts: Brokopondo, Para and Sipaliwini. The area is part of the vast Amazon region and is almost entirely covered with tropical rainforest.Map Directions Satellite Photo Map...
International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) land use and cover map (ICIMOD2018) was used as the baseline map for forest and vegetation cover in 2000; all forest fire incidents were examined with regard to this mapped forested area. The time series global MODIS 250-m vegetat...
Previous work has identified some aspects of forest management in global maps, but this is usually limited to a small number of very broad classes. For example, the intact forest landscapes initiative6provides global maps of intact forests with no signs of human activity and a minimum area of ...
(each approximately 50 g) of soil from the top 10 cm, sampled using a small trowel marked to 10 cm depth starting down from the base of the litter layer. The five subsamples, one taken at each corner and one at the center, were gathered from each 0.01 ha area and mixed ...

Forest fires are rapidly increasing in the temperate and boreal forests of northern Europe and Russia as well due to climate change, among other causes [37,186,187,188]. Several indices have been developed in the greater area, which have been also deployed in diverted climatic zones [64,68,...
What we learned from the studies on past vandalism in OSM is that it is very complex to characterise a single map feature as vandalism, without the context of the map and the history of editions in the area. More generally, it is acknowledged that with the geographic context of a VGI con...
H. Yathish and colleagues, in 2019, applied three fire hazard discrimination methods (logistic regression, multi-criteria decision analysis, and weighted overlay) in India, considering factors like elevation, slope, distance to roads, human activity area, land surface temperature (LST), and the ...
