land-use changespatial simulationLand-use control and planning instruments face new challenges amid growing pressure for urbanization and annexation of valuable agricultural land and natural areas. This paper presents the land-use change propensity map, which shows the local potential for specific land-...
Land use maps in 2001, 2006 and 2008, and land use change maps (2001–2006, 2001–2008) were produced at 1:5000 from Spatial overlay analysis. The digital map data for the study area were vectored to a manageable spatial resolution and contain seven classes: arable field, garden, woodland...
The map shows the spatial extent of the presented world regions in different shades of grey. Full size image However, the data suggest a rather abrupt change to decreasing rates of land use change in the period from 2005, which is most evident in Africa and South America (see Fig. 3), ...
Keywords: land-use/cover; urbanization; time series; CA–Markov 1. Introduction Land-use/land-cover (LULC) classification, generally based on remote sensing images, is one of the major research themes in terms of global environmental change [1]. LULC change is the prompt influence and response...
Results show that (1) the land use change in Anyang from 1995 to 2025 was significant, and the degree of land use change under the cultivated land and ecological protection scenarios was more moderate than that under the natural evolution scenario; (2) The total ESV decreased between 1995 ...
Eyes on Change Land use/Land cover maps are a snapshot in time, but natural processes and human activity can rapidly change the landscape. Too often, map availability can lag several years behind data acquisition. However, with the unique deep learning approach used to create the Sentinel-2 ...
the Bareland change in our dataset is caused by the urban encroachment since the demands generated by GCAM remain stable in the future, but LUH2 adopted different assumptions. Second, the base map we used had a distinct spatial pattern of Bareland compared to LUH2 in 2010 (see FigureS3)....
Landsat TM scenes for 1985 and 1991 are used to produce a georeferenced map of land cover and land use for an area of the Amazon estuary inhabited by three populations of caboclos with distinct patterns of land use. This information is combined in a geographic information system with ethnographi...
Why map land use? Fundamental for the management of natural resources and critical information for planning and management activities (Pandey et al., 2019) Monitoring of land management impacts on water quality State of the Environment reporting ...
Here, we use a recently compiled global tree distribution dataset54, covering 41,835 species or 65.1% of the known tree species globally55, to map tree PE and explore its macroecological drivers, its conservation status, and exposure to future pressures. We analysed the relative roles of presen...
