Grassland ecological migration project is implemented in Northwest China as an attempt to restore the deteriorative ecosystems. People are relocated from uninhabitable areas to immigrant areas, resulting in land use changes, which would significantly impact the ecological environment. Therefore, it urgently needs quantitative evaluation and analysis of the trends of ecological change in these immigrant areas. We selected Luanjingtan, which is the largest ecological immigrant area in Alxa, Inner Mongolia, as our case.
Modelling long-term water yield effects of forest management in a Norway spruce forest
Intensive forest management is one of the main land cover changes over the last century in Central Europe, resulting in forest monoculture. It has been proposed that these monoculture stands impact hydrological processes, water yield, water quality and ecosystem services.
new approach for mapping regional land cover and the application of this approach in Australia
Detailed and accurate land cover data are widely used for various purposes, such as global land use change detection. This study aimed to investigate Australian land use and cover change by using 774 Landsat scenes in 2000 and 2010. The reference data included pictures or high-resolution images from Google Earth, global land cover data, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, and other literature.
Automated integration of lidar into the LANDFIRE product suite
Accurate information about three-dimensional canopy structure and wildland fuel across the landscape is necessary for fire behaviour modelling system predictions. Remotely sensed data are invaluable for assessing these canopy characteristics over large areas; lidar data, in particular, are uniquely suited for quantifying three-dimensional canopy structure. Although lidar data are increasingly available, they have rarely been applied to wildland fuels mapping efforts, mostly due to two issues.
Performance of the COSERO precipitation–runoff model under non-stationary conditions in basins with different climates
This study is a contribution to a model intercomparison experiment initiated during a workshop at the 2013 IAHS conference in Göteborg, Sweden. We present discharge simulations with the conceptual precipitation–runoff model COSERO in 11 basins located under different climates in Europe, Africa and Australia. All of the basins exhibit some form of non-stationary conditions, due, for example, to warming, droughts or land-cover change.
