The polygon dataset is in a GeoPackage format, which can be opened and visualized with GIS software, such as QGIS and ArcGIS. Other software environments, R and Python for example, can access GeoPackage format as well. In both the polygon and non-polygon datasets, we used the International O...
The chemical properties of forest soils are also important for oak forest growth35. Important indices of the chemical behavior of all soils are pH, cation-exchange capacity (CEC), Nitrogen, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), anion-exchange capacity (AEC), base saturation (B...
India has a heritage of more than 100,000 sacred groove forests, overarching cultural taboos and religious beliefs of the local community34. The tropical forests of Southern India are renowned for their rich and unique endemic flora, which, in many cases, can trace its origins back to the end...
These methods require a strict normal distribution assumption regarding the used dataset, but remote-sensing-derived variables and other GIS layers often do not conform to this distribution, so their use is greatly limited [25,26]. With the rapid development of computer technology, artificial ...

A framework was developed using several DEMs in combinations of increasing cell size (resolution) and localized averaging of neighboring cells (focal smoothing) of the original LiDAR-derived 10 m DEM to produce myriad topographic datasets via algorithms within ArcGIS and SAGA GIS software (Figure 4,...
regression models, it is difficult to deduce such assumptions [28]. Our objective here was to assess the impact of forest fire policies on the probability and drivers of forest fires in northern China during different periods based on historical fire data using GIS and remote sensing data. We ...
