Displaying 251 - 255 of 661Mapping urban land uses in the United States by census zone using nationally available data
Accurate identification of urban land use is essential for many applications. However, as physical surfaces of land-cover types are not necessarily related to their use and economic function, differentiating among thematically detailed urban land uses (single-family residential, multi-family residential, commercial, industrial, etc.) using remotely sensed imagery is a challenging task, particularly over large areas.
Effects of Land-Use Change on Soil Organic Carbon and Nitrogen
Although the literature is full of references to soil degradation under forest cultivation, very little information is available on changes in soil properties following deforestation of the Hyrcanian area in northern Iran. Also, the literature provides little information on the effects of conversion from deforested cropland to grazing, a likely direction of land-use change in northern Iran. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of conversion of native forests into farmlands and/or grazing lands on soil properties and nutrients in the Hyrcanian forest.
Centrarchid Assemblages in Floodplain Lakes of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley
The family Centrarchidae is a principal and visible component of the ichthyofauna in most warmwater ecosystems in North America, and many of its species provide key recreational fisheries. We examined the significance of various local environmental factors to 13 centrarchid species in 53 floodplain lakes (remnant channels) of the Mississippi alluvial valley to identify major environmental gradients influential in structuring centrarchid assemblages.
Assessment, modelling and management of land use and water quality in the upper Taieri River catchment
An average of 16 years' data at sites in the upper Taireri River catchment was used to determine if water quality had changed commensurate with an increase in the irrigated area and land-use change. To help remediate perceived gaps in the nutrient modelling software Overseer®, data was also collected from a low-intensity border dyke and high-intensity spray-irrigated property. Filterable reactive phosphorus concentrations increased over time and were attributed to the irrigation of poor anion storage capacity (ASC) soils and irrigation-return flows.
On the novel use of model-based decomposition in SAR polarimetry for target detection on the sea
In this study, we show the novel applications of model-based scattering power decomposition analyses in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarimetry for man-made target detection on the sea surface. Model-based decomposition technique is primarily used for land-cover classification mainly because microwave scattering from land is composed of various scattering mechanisms.
