This study aims to evaluate different methods of integrating optical and multipolarized radar data for land use and land cover (LULC) mapping in an agricultural frontier region in the Central Brazilian Amazon, which requires continuous monitoring due to the increasing human intervention. The evaluation is performed using different sets of fused and combined data.

Uses of high spatial resolution data obtained from satellite-based sensors include creating land cover maps, deriving large-scale quantitative assessments such as vegetation indices, and visually assessing an area for qualitative information only assessable from large-scale digital data. One of the more popular uses of high spatial resolution data is to use the image as a base map for on-screen digitizing spatially dependent vector products.

Areal interpolation is used to transfer attribute data between geographically incongruous zonal systems. Remotely sensed land cover data are widely used in intelligent areal interpolation methods to solve this problem. This article examines the usefulness of different publicly available remotely sensed land cover data sets as ancillary data used in conjunction with different areal interpolation methods.

Detailed urban land-cover maps are essential information for sustainable planning. Land-cover maps assist planners in designing strategies for the optimisation of urban ecosystem services and climate change adaptation. In this study, the statistical software R was applied to land cover analysis for the Catania metropolitan area in Sicily, Italy. Six land cover classes were extracted from high-resolution orthophotos. Five different classification algorithms were compared. Texture and contextual layers were tested in different combinations as ancillary data.

The Scops Owl Otus scops (L., 1758) is a species of European concern, which suffered a noticeable decrease in distribution in the last decades, and changes in agricultural practices have been proposed as a major threat for this owl. We studied the habitat preference of the Scops Owl by assessing the habitat occupancy of 401 territories distributed in a large area in northwest Italy, with a special focus on 98 territories located in a high-density area (Monferrato).
