As the interface among land, ocean and atmosphere, coastal zone has very high natural energy and biological productivity. Many people immigrate and live in coastal zone area. With the development of economy, land change and land covers in urban areas tend to change drastically over a short period of time due to rapid urbanization. The paper studied on urbanization of coastal zone area in China based...
Based on the data of multi-temporal point TM images, by applying the theory of Ecosystem Service Value, the Gravity Center Model, ESDA method and so on, the paper calculates the ecosystem service value in Circum-Taihu Lake region in 1985, 1995, 2000, 2005 and analyzes the characteristics of the gain and loss of the ecosystem service value, their spatial difference changes, the spatial pattern evolution...
Urbanization, the conversion of other types of land to uses associated with growth of populations and economy, is a main type of land use and land cover change in human history. In recent 30 years, urban growth has been speeded up, and extreme stress to the environment has occurred in China. Based on the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program's Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) stable nighttime...
Quantifying the effects of land cover change is imperative to improve future hydrological budget estimates within large river basins or catchments. However especially in Africa, rigorous, regional standardized and spatially explicit land cover change data is missing, or often inconsistent and outdated. Within the GLOWA Volta hydrological project in West Africa, we used 26 Landsat tiles from the years...
