Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMODELING OF FUTURE LAND COVER LAND USE CHANGE IN NORTH CAROLINA USING MARKOV CHAIN AND CELLULAR AUTOMATA MODELSayem M. Zaman, Manoj K. JhaState wide variant topographic features in North Carolina attract the hydro-climatologist. There is none modeling study found that predict future Land Cover Land Use (LCLU) change for whole North Carolina. In this study, satellite-derived land cover maps of year 1992, 2001 and 2006 of North Carolina were integrated within the framework of the Markov-Cellular Automata (Markov-CA) model which combines the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 23 Aug 2014 · 8,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSoil Erosion Prediction Based on Land Use Changes (A Case in Neka Watershed)Karim Solaimani, Saeid Modallaldoust, Sedigheh LotfiProblem statement: Land use change has transformed a vast part of the natural landscapes of the developing world for the last 50 years. Land is a fundamental factor of production and though much of the course of human history, it has been tightly coupled with economic growth. Soil erosion by water is one of the most important land degradation processes … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,447 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDETECTION OF LAND USE AND LAND COVER CHANGES IN DIRAB REGION OF SAUDI ARABIA USING REMOTELY SENSED IMAGERIESR. Madugundu, K. A. Al-Gaadi, V. C. Patil, E. TolaKnowledge of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes is important for many planning and management activities. It is thought to be an essential element for modeling and understanding the major land forms, especially in arid regions like Saudi Arabia. This study investigates the LULC changes in Dirab region of Saudi Arabia between 1980 and 2010, using Landsat TM/ETM+images. After … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2014 · 8,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUse of Satellite Data to Study the Impact of Land-Cover/Land-Use Change in Madison County AlabamaTomas Ayala-Silva, Garry Gordon, Robert HeathThe monitoring of land/use land cover changes along the northern part of Madison County Alabama are essential for the developers, planners, policy makers and management of government, public and private organizations. Remote sensing was used to analyze and study land-use/land-cover use changes impact on the environment of Madison County Alabama. This study area was selected because it is one of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnalysis of Land Use and Land Cover Changing Patterns of Bangladesh Using Remote Sensing TechnologyMd. Mahmudul Hasan, Rashidul Islam, Md. Saifur Rahman et al.Bangladesh is a deltaic country situated in the fringe of Bay of Bengal. Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) change is the concerning issue in the present world. Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to LULC changes due to its geographical location and shortage of awareness that’s why author conduct this research. The research was focused on analysing the LULC changes pattern … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 26 Aug 2021 · 10,113 accessesView PDFCite
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
