This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mangrove forests are critical to mitigating climate change and provide many essential benefits to their ecosystems and local environments but are under threat due to deforestation. However, monitoring mangroves through remote sensing can help pinpoint and alleviate the causes of their deforestation. Machine learning can be used with remotely sensed low-resolution satellite or high-resolution aerial imagery to automatically create mangrove extent maps with higher accuracy and frequency than previously possible. This study explores and offers recommendations for two practical scenarios. In the first practical scenario, where only low-resolution hyperspectral satellite imagery is acquired, we implemented several classical machine learning models and applied these results to data acquired in the Clarendon parish of Jamaica. We found that utilizing extensive feature engineering and hyperspectral bands can result in strong performance for mangrove extent classification, with an accuracy of 93% for our extremely randomized trees model. In the second practical scenario, we explored when there is full coverage of both low-resolution satellite and high-resolution aerial imagery over a survey area. We created a hybrid model which fuses low-resolution pixels and high-resolution imagery, achieving an accuracy of 97% when applied to a dataset based in Baja California Sur, Mexico, offering another high-performance method to automatically create mangrove extent maps if both high- and low-resolution imagery is available. Overall, the methods tested over these two scenarios provide stakeholders flexibility in data and methods used to achieve accurate, automatic mangrove extent measurement, enabling more frequent mangrove monitoring and further enabling the protection of these important ecosystems.

Download or read book The World's Mangroves, 1980-2005 written by and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mangroves, commonly found along sheltered coastlines in the tropics and subtropics, fulfil important socio-economic and environmental functions: providing wood and non-wood forest products, protecting shores against wind, waves and water currents; conserving biological diversity; protecting coral reefs, sea-grass beds and shipping lanes against siltation; and providing habitat, spawning grounds and nutrients for a variety of fish and shellfish, including many commercial species. High population pressure in coastal areas has, however, led to the conversion of many mangrove areas to other uses. The world's mangroves 1980-2005, prepared in the framework of the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2005, provides comprehensive information on the current and past extent of mangroves in all countries and territories in which they exist. This information, as well as the gaps in information that come to light in the report, will assist mangrove managers and policy- and decision-makers worldwide in ensuring the conservation, management and sustainable use of the world's remaining mangrove ecosystems

Download or read book Global Forest Monitoring from Earth Observation written by Frederic Achard and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests provide a large range of beneficial services, including tangible ones such as timber and recreation, and intangible services such as climate regulation, biodiversity, and watershed protection. On the other hand, forests can also be considered roadblocks to progress that occupy space more productively used for agriculture, making consideration of their regulating services crucial for balancing land use and forest loss. Monitoring forest cover and loss is critical for obtaining the data necessary to help define what is needed to maintain the varying forest service requirements in different parts of the world. There is an increasing need for timely and accurate forest change information, and consequently a greater interest in monitoring those changes. Global Forest Monitoring from Earth Observation covers the very recent developments undertaken for monitoring forest areas from global to national levels using Earth observation satellite data. It describes operational tools and systems for monitoring forest ecosystems, discussing why and how researchers currently use remotely sensed data to study forest cover and loss over large areas. The book introduces the role of forests in providing ecosystem services and the need for monitoring their change over time, followed by an overview of the use of earth observation data to support forest monitoring. It discusses general methodological differences, including wall-to-wall mapping and sampling approaches, as well as data availability. This book provides excellent coverage of the research and applications of forest monitoring, indicator mapping at coarse spatial resolution, sample-based assessments, and wall-to-wall mapping at medium spatial resolution using optical remote sensing datasets, such as MODIS and Landsat. It examines the use of radar imagery in forest monitoring and presents a number of operational systems, from Brazil’s PRODES and DETER products to Australia’s NCAS system. Written by leading global experts in the field, this book offers a launch point for future advances in satellite-based monitoring of global forest resources. It gives readers a deeper understanding of global forest monitoring methods and shows how state-of-the-art technologies may soon provide key data for creating more balanced policies.

Download or read book Mangrove Ecosystems: A Global Biogeographic Perspective written by Victor H. Rivera-Monroy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive overview and analysis of mangrove ecological processes, structure, and function at the local, biogeographic, and global scales and how these properties interact to provide key ecosystem services to society. The analysis is based on an international collaborative effort that focuses on regions and countries holding the largest mangrove resources and encompasses the major biogeographic and socio-economic settings of mangrove distribution. Given the economic and ecological importance of mangrove wetlands at the global scale, the chapters aim to integrate ecological and socio-economic perspectives on mangrove function and management using a system-level hierarchical analysis framework. The book explores the nexus between mangrove ecology and the capacity for ecosystem services, with an emphasis on thresholds, multiple stressors, and local conditions that determine this capacity. The interdisciplinary approach and illustrative study cases included in the book will provide valuable resources in data, information, and knowledge about the current status of one of the most productive coastal ecosystem in the world.
