Here we propose an accurate and robust method for large-area land-use and land-cover (LULC) mapping using multi-temporal optical data. The conventional method for LULC classification usually uses time-series data at regular intervals to consider the seasonality of LULC. However, high-resolution optical data have considerable seasonal biases, making it difficult to use time-series data.

This study aims to determine and clarify the productivity and the factors influencing wheat production farms in Mongolia. Questionnaire surveys were conducted within 42 farms and used to analyze the data obtained in 2010. In this research, the main results are as follows: Large scale farms (more than 1,000 ha) have an average yield of 1.6 tons per hectare while medium (500 ha - 1,000 ha) and small scale farms (less than 500 ha) have 1.7 and 1.4 tons per hectare, respectively. Production cost per hectare of the 3 groups were compared.

The contents of Noumuchou can be divided into six sections: 1) conservation of agricultural land, 2) methods of cultivation, 3) cooperative community cultivation, 4) laying aside produce for times of emergency, 5) growing useful plants and 6) the duties of agriculture-related officials. From these sections it is possible to extract regional characteristics particular to Okinawa. Several points are detailed below. The first concerns technical methods of conserving soil fertility.

Application of the satellite remote sensing techniques to wildlife research began from discernment of the individual animal and/or evaluation of animal behavior from the photography experiments. Satellite remote sensing to wildlife research at the present has applied for the purpose of evaluating the animal habitat. Trends in satellite remote sensing for wildlife are evaluating the index of wildlife habitat and estimating relationship with an environmental variables and animal distribution.

The extent of climate change effects ranges widely. In order to make comprehensive assessments of the impacts of climate change and to formulate adaptation policies, interdisciplinary research must be implemented under common future assumptions (hereafter common scenarios). In this paper, a common scenario for Japan is proposed using the latest climate and population projections. We used the climate projection of four climate models and three radiative forcing scenarios of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5).
