The woody carbon stocks within the LCF for the years 1998 and 2008 was estimated using average carbon stocks across forest, bushland, and agriculture with scattered settlement, based on our field survey and LULC classes of the year 2018. Next, the woody biomass value quantified using the LULC...
The confusion between the two types of classes is not solved by the implementation of vegetation indices, as they are classes with little vegetation matter; therefore, external information is needed. With the implementation of the built-up area variable, it is possible to observe a strong ...
A minimum of four and maximum of six LULC classes were identified in each watershed over the study period. The study revealed that forest land was the dominant LULC class accounting for 40.9% and 32.0% in Guder and Aba Gerima, respectively in 1982. While in the same period, bush land (...

elevation, and Sentinel-2 bands 9 and 12 to account for wetness of habitats. A total of 12 different vegetation classes of similar spectral and elevation classes was obtained. We grouped these classes into wet (swamp), lowland and upland forests based on field observations of our field team....

(encompassing sub-Saharan Africa or a region therein). As the land uses were selected to reflect those most common in sub-Saharan Africa, the map used to spatialise the data should include those classes (urban, crop, plantation, rangeland, near-natural, protected). See Scholes and Biggs28,...
In 2017, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) estimated, with considerable uncertainty, that there are roughly 8.7 billion barrels of oil within the Reserve. The Trump administration revised the management plan in 2020 and opened up over 80% of the Reserve to leasing and development. Defenders an...
