Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRestoration of Biodiversity and EcosystemIgnacio Santa-Regina, M. C. Santa-ReginaSuccession is one of the most studied processes in ecology and succession theory provides strong predictability. However, few attempts have been made to influence the course of succession thereby testing the hypothesis that the passage of one stage is essential to enter a next one. At each stage of succession ecosystem processes may be affected by the diversity of species … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2013 · 6,984 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing Supervised Classification Algorithms for Mangrove Detection and Differentiation from Other Forest Types in Paiton District, Probolinggo RegencyKaruniawan Puji Wicaksono, Fathor Rohman, Yasushi MitsudaRemote sensing provides an effective approach for monitoring forest cover dynamics, yet distinguishing mangroves from other forest types remains challenging in heterogeneous coastal landscapes. This study compares six supervised classification algorithms: Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), Mixture Discriminant Analysis (MDA), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) for mangrove detection in Paiton, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 1 Sep 2026 · 844 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Analysis of Urban Land Development Using Multi-Criteria Decision Model and Geographical Information System (A Case Study of Babolsar City)Sedigheh Lotfi, Kiomarth Habibi, Mohammad Javad KoohsariProblem Statement: The unplanned physical expansion of cities has been one of the most important problems of urban management in developing countries. Iran, like other developing world has experienced a high level of urbanization growth which transformed the physical fabric of urban areas. North of Iran is one of most rapid growing region of the country where the moderate climate … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,708 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEnvironmental Issues in Jordan, Solutions and RecommendationsNidal A. Hadadin, Zeyad S. TarawnehJordan’s natural resources are limited to support population in a sustainable manner. However, its environment is exposed to a number of threats. In order to best explain Jordan’s environmental difficulties, it would be prudent to focus individually on each of these major concerns: water shortages, agriculture/land and air pollution. This study focuses on the environmental problems in Jordan and has … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 10,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExplaining Local Growth-Management Policies: The Role of Public GoodsDonna Driscoll, Dennis Halcoussis, Anton D. LowenbergProblem statement: Local jurisdictions such as cities and counties enact a wide variety of growth-management regulations, such as zoning ordinances and growth-promoting incentives. Approach: Use a theory of local public goods to identify the conditions under which jurisdictions are most likely to implement growth-management regulations. Predictions of the theory regarding variation in pro-growth measures across jurisdictions were tested using data … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,384 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Areas Susceptible to Gullies in Ideato South Local Government Area of Nigeria Using Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing TechnologySylvanus IroGully erosion is a critical environmental hazard in Southeastern Nigeria, threatening agricultural productivity, infrastructure, and communal safety. This study provides a spatially explicit assessment of gully erosion susceptibility in Ideato South Local Government Area (LGA), Imo State, using an integrated Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing framework. The methodology employed a multi-criteria decision-making approach, utilizing the Analytical Hierarchy Process … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 20 Jul 2026 · 1,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeep Learning and Image Analytics for Forest Land Management: Classification, and Object DetectionDevam Dixit, Aditya Bhavsar, Shreyas Jani, Nilesh YadavRapid urbanization and industrialization have contributed to deforestation which has led to a severe degradation of the environment and biodiversity loss. Traditional field survey methods are not applicable in the monitoring of large forest areas due to the fact that such methods are manual, costly and time consuming as well as subject to human error. The current methods of remote … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2026 · 1,590 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling the Nile: A Comprehensive Water Budget and Flow Assessment with the River Basin Flow Model (RBFM)Youssef Ismail HafezThe Nile River basin, covering 2.9 million km³ across 11countries, is one of the world's most complex hydrological systems. With an annual historical discharge of 84 billion m³ at Aswan, Egypt, and rainfall of around 1,660 billion m³ per year over the Nile basin, effective management of this vital transboundary resource requires a deep understanding of its hydrology. This study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 18 Jun 2025 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLand Cover Changes from Forest Fires Using CA-Markov in Pelalawan, IndonesiaApri Zulmi Hardi, Abdulkader Ali MuradForest and land fires pose significant risks to ecosystems, particularly in Pelalawan Regency, Indonesia, where slash-and-burn practices during the dry season exacerbate peatland degradation. This study integrates Cellular Automata (CA) and Markov-chain analysis to model and predict land cover changes and carbon stock dynamics over the next 20 years. The model projects spatial patterns of land cover changes from 2002-2033 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2024 · 4,874 accessesView PDFCite
