The relationship between land cover patterns and surface temperature was examined using random forest as well as simple linear regression for two urban sites in Denver, Colorado, USA. Among four land cover types of buildings, trees, grass, and roads and parking lots, only trees and roads and parking lots show significant spatial metrics affecting surface temperature using both the methods.
Optimisation of the traditional land-use system in the Angolan highlands using linear programming
This study used linear programming (LP) to analyse land-use alternatives in the traditional Umbundu farming system in the Angolan central highlands. Farmers of the region have traditionally produced maize and pulses for subsistence and vegetables and timber as cash crops. Different pasture and forest fallow rotations are used along catena production sites. The system is labour-intensive and uses animal traction. LP problems were formulated and solved for a baseline land-use alternative, improved diet alternative and maximal timber production alternative.
multi-scale accuracy assessment of the MODIS irrigated agriculture data-set (MIrAD) for the state of Nebraska, USA
Accurate and timely information about the geographic distribution of irrigated cropland is important for a range of applications including crop assessments, water resources management, drought monitoring, and environmental modeling.
Incorporating road and parcel data for object-based classification of detailed urban land covers from NAIP images
A map showing various urban features, such as buildings, roads, and vegetation, is useful for a variety of urban planning applications. The objective of this study was to incorporate road and parcel GIS data as well as relevant expert knowledge to classify different urban land covers from 1-meter, 4-band NAIP images. Based on a hybrid simultaneous-classification and one-by-one-classification approach, a total of 14 urban classes are classified.
Nutrient management for integrating productivity and environmental concerns – framework of a joint China–Norway research initiative
Efficient plant nutrition and good agronomical practices are essential to meet future challenges in agriculture, while high land productivity is an obvious measure to integrate food security and environment protection. However, nutrient management in agriculture, including fertilizer applications and issues linked to nutrient losses, are highly complex due to multidimensional variability. Thus, robust systems of measurements and documentation, including planning, are required in order to support decision-making.
