Impervious surface has been recognized as a key indicator in assessing urban
environments. However, accurate impervious surface extraction is still a challenge …

Leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) is an important indicator of foliar nitrogen status and
photosynthetic capacity. Compared to physical models, the generality of empirical models …

This article discusses research in which the authors applied the Revised Universal Soil Loss
Equation (RUSLE), remote sensing, and geographical information system (GIS) to the …

The quantification, mapping and monitoring of biomass are now central issues due to the
importance of biomass as a renewable energy source in many countries of the world. The …

Spectral unmixing is the process of decomposing the spectral signature of a mixed pixel into
a set of endmembers and their corresponding abundances. Endmembers are spectra of the …

This paper examines characteristics of urban land-use and land-cover (LULC) classes using
spectral mixture analysis (SMA), and develops a conceptual model for characterizing urban …

Research on change detection techniques has long been an active topic and many
techniques have been developed. In reality, change detection is a comprehensive …

Tree canopy cover is a major biophysical attribute of dryland ecosystems. Monitoring its long-
term changes over large spatial extents is critical for understanding woody vegetation …

Phenology is a key component of monitoring terrestrial ecosystem variations in response to
global climate change. Satellite-measured land surface phenology (LSP) has been widely …

Remote sensing data are a key tool to assess large forested areas, where limitations such
as accessibility and lack of field measurements are prevalent. Here, we have analysed …
