Land use and Land use change - Land use refers to the total of arrangements, activities and inputs undertaken in a
certain land cover type (a set of human actions).
«Bears are really using a diversity
of land cover types, and that suggests that a possible lack of constraints for black bears moving further northward,» Fuller said.
«Scientists have developed indicators for biodiversity, such
as land cover type, and modern ecological models that can digest satellite data and information on species occurrence are now offering near - real time monitoring of the land management impacts on biodiversity.
In addition to proximity to transmission lines, ravens in the study area selected nest sites that were in close proximity to edges formed between sagebrush and
land cover types associated with direct human disturbance such as introduction of non-native species, or fire.
Landscape scale factors affecting prevalence of Escherichia coli in surface soil
include land cover type, edge interactions, and soil pH — Nicholas Dusek — Applied and Environmental Microbiology
«There is a dynamic and complex relationship
among land cover types that are constantly changing,» said lead author J. Tyler Fox of the University of Arkansas.
Compares LST, albedo, normalized differenced vegetation index (NDVI) and evapotranspiration (ET) between seven different land cover types
Comparison shows that forests have lower surface temperatures than the
other land cover types, indicating a local warming effect after forest conversion
The principle crops in the region uncovered include cereals such as corn, rice, and spring wheat in a region known to be the main grain area of China (26)[Fig. 1, with brown dots in denoting at least 50 % total coverage by crops according to
the land cover type yearly climate modeling grid (CMG) datasets with 0.05 ° resolution from the NASA Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC).].
Capitalizing on the GlobCover, GLC2000, GlobAlbedo and GlobCorine experiences, benchmarks and developments of algorithms and methods were carried out to pre-process the various data types according to the state - of - the - art and to discriminate
the land cover type in a consistent way over time at global scale.
