Mainland Southeast Asia is defined by a series of river basins bordered on the north and west by mountain ranges which created a natural barrier to human interactions. From:International Encyclopedia of Human Geography,2009 Discover other topics ...
It has therefore been conjectured that biomass loss due to defaunation is of lesser importance in Asia than in the Neotropics11. Not all forests in Southeast Asia, however, are dominated by Dipterocarpaceae23,24, questioning the generality of the claim. In this study, we investigate the ...
The study produces Southeast Asia’s first 500 m resolution map of mosquito suitability, revealing significant increases in mosquito suitability in most cities over the past 60 years. The analysis indicates a shift in high-suitability areas from coastal to inland regions, with nighttime land surface...
study, we presented an approach using thresholds for three topographic parameters, elevation, slope, and LER, derived from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer Global Digital Elevation Model(ASTER GDEM) to redelineate the vast mountainous areas of mainland Southeast Asia(...
The response of JERS-1 and ERS-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to the forest stem volume (biomass) was investigated by employing a digital stem volume map... L Kurvonen,J Pulliainen - 《IEEE Transactions on Geoscience & Remote Sensing》 被引量: 300发表: 1999年 Aboveground biomass retrie...
Several countries in Southeast Asia are nearing malaria elimination, yet eradication remains elusive. This is largely due to the challenge of focusing elimination efforts, an area where risk prediction can play an essential supporting role. Despite its i
This paper examines the projected changes in rainfall in Southeast Asia (SEA) in the twenty-first century based on the multi-model simulations of the South
Inset shows data for EoceneeOligocene magmatic rocks from the Urumieh-Dokhtar region, southwestern Iran (Omrani et al., 2008; Ahmadian et al., 2009; Verdel et al., 2011), the Alborz region, northern Iran (Aghazadeh et al., 2010, 2011; Asiabanha and Foden, 2012; Asiabanha et al.,...
Peat coverage (%) for each catchment was estimated using a combination of the FAO Soil Map of the World31 and the catchment area derived from the ArcGIS DEM model. The peat coverage for Malaysia, Indonesia and SE-Asia was derived from Hooijer et al.27, who based their peat coverage ...
Participatory approaches have been discussed as alternatives to and complementary elements of more conventional research on sustainable land use and rural development in upland areas of Southeast Asia. Following a brief overview of the history of participatory approaches (Sect. 9.1), this chapter discusse...
