Cropland abandonment is a widespread land-use change, but it is difficult to monitor with
remote sensing because it is often spatially dispersed, easily confused with spectrally similar …

Farmland abandonment is an important aspect of land cover land use (LCLU) that has both
positive and negative effects on the environment. There is limited information regarding the …

Spatial–temporal analysis of land-use/land-cover (LULC) change as well as the monitoring
and modeling of urban expansion are essential for the planning and management of urban …

Due to the unfavorable soil conditions and water resources, the cropland use pattern in the
farming-pastoral ecotone in northern China is complex. The program named “Grain for …

Abstract Urban-rural-natural (URN) gradients can integrate numerous landscapes with
distinct regional functions to illustrate the uncertainty, dynamics, and gradients of the …

Cropland abandonment is one of the most widespread types of land-use change in
Southern China. Quickly and accurately monitoring spatial-temporal patterns of cropland …

Land use and land cover change (LULCC) is a widely researched topic in related studies. A
