Abstract: Green walls and green dams are increasingly being considered as part of many nation-al and international desertification initiatives. This paper studies the spatiotemporal evolution of the green dam in the Moudjbara region (Djelfa Province, Algeria) from 1972 to 2019 by using Landsat imagery, Land Change Modeler and Open Land package. The future evolution of pine plantations for the year 2029 was also forecasted, based on an anthropogenic scenario (i.e., an-thropogenic pressure is the main driver of the green dam destruction). Our findings revealed that the green dam project was successful for a few years, but after that, pine plantations deteri-orated significantly due to forest harvesting, livestock overgrazing, and the proliferation of the pine caterpillar processionary, which destroyed most of the reforestation. Land Change Modeler predicted a huge degradation of pine plantations for the year 2029, and if the deforestation con-tinues at the same rate, the green dam will disappear in the Moudjbara region during the next few decades. Aware of this threat, the Algerian authorities are now planning to reforest more than 1.2 million ha under the latest rural renewal policy by introducing new principles related to sustainable development, fighting desertification, and climate change adaptation

Green walls and green dams are increasingly being considered as part of many national and international desertification initiatives. This paper studies the spatiotemporal evolution of the green dam in the Moudjbara region (Djelfa Province, Algeria), from 1972 to 2019, by using Landsat imagery, Land Change Modeler, and OpenLand package. The future evolution of pine plantations, for the year 2029, was also forecasted, based on an anthropogenic scenario (i.e., anthropogenic pressure is the main driver of the green dam destruction). Our findings revealed that the green dam project was successful for a few years, but, after that, pine plantations deteriorated significantly, due to forest harvesting, livestock overgrazing, and the proliferation of the pine caterpillar processionary, which destroyed most of the reforestation. Land change modeler predicted a huge degradation of pine plantations for the year 2029, and if the deforestation continues at the same rate, the green dam in the Moudjbara region will disappear during the next few decades. Being aware of this threat, the Algerian authorities are now planning to reforest more than 1.2 million ha under the latest rural renewal policy, by introducing new principles related to sustainable development, fighting desertification, and climate change adaptation. We strongly recommend moving away from the singular tree planting focus, to diversifying desertification control methods.

The spatiotemporal evolution of an impervious surface (IS) is significant for urban planning. In this paper, the IS was extracted and its spatiotemporal evolution for the Chengdu urban area was analyzed based on Landsat imagery. Our experimental results indicated that convolutional neural networks achieved the better performance with an overall accuracy of 98.32%, Kappa coefficient of 0.98, and Macro F1 of 98.28%, and the farmland was replaced by IS from 2001 to 2017, and the IS area (ISA) increased by 51.24 km2; that is, the growth rate was up to 13.8% in sixteen years. According to the landscape metrics, the IS expanded and agglomerated into large patches from small fragmented ones. In addition, the gross domestic product change of the secondary industry was similar to the change of ISA between 2001 and 2017. Thus, the spatiotemporal evolution of IS was associated with the economic development of the Chengdu urban area in the past sixteen years.

Este estudo teve por objetivo simular cenários de uso e ocupação do solo para t4 (2035), tendo como base as mudanças no uso do solo ocorridas em t1 (1989), t2 (2007) e t3 (2015) para a bacia do Rio Tapacurá, localizada no Estado de Pernambuco. Foi realizada a previsão do uso do solo para t3 (2015), usando três métodos: (a) Rede Neural Multi-Layer Perceptron (RNMLP), (b) Similarity-Weighted Instance-Based Machine Learning Algorithm (SimWeight) e (c) Regressão Logística (RL) e para a metodologia que mostrou melhor desempenho, foi realizada a predição dos cenários futuros para t4 (2035). Os cenários futuros simulados foram: (a) Cenário 1: de continuidade das transições e (b) Cenário 2: de continuidade das transições e intensificação da classe pecuária e expansão da área urbana, usando o módulo Land Change Modeler (LCM) do Idrisi TerrSet e imagens da cobertura do solo. Os resultados da previsão do uso do solo para 2015 mostraram que o melhor desempenho foi obtido usando o método RNMLP com treinamento de 84,22% e 10.000 iterações. A simulação dos cenários futuros para t4 mostrou intensificação das transições observadas nos três anos analisados, com previsão para expansão de cerca de 3% da classe pecuária para os dois cenários simulados.

El crecimiento urbano de Nacajuca, Tabasco, ha transformado el sistema natural, siendo necesario conocer la actual configuración espacial de las coberturas naturales y los usos artificiales con la finalidad de proveer información de la dinámica espacial para el ordenamiento ecológico. El objetivo del estudio fue modelar los cambios de cobertura y uso del suelo (2000, 2008 y 2017), mediante un análisis multitemporal empleando el Land Change Modeler for ecological sustainability de IDRISI. Los resultados indican que en el periodo 2000-2008 se encontró la disminución de los humedales (1 796 ha) y un ligero aumento de la vegetación arbórea (689 ha), contrario al crecimiento urbano (796 ha) y elevado aumento del pastizal (2 168 ha). En el segundo periodo (2008-2017) se detectó la mayor pérdida de humedales (3 995 ha) y de vegetación arbórea (1 233 ha), mientras que el área urbana y el pastizal presentaron los mayores incrementos (1 365 y 4 378 ha). Las principales transiciones fueron en primer lugar, el cambio de grandes coberturas de humedales a pastizal y en segundo lugar la transformación de pastizal a urbano. La perturbación se relaciona con la dinámica de la zona metropolitana de Villahermosa y coincide con la pérdida de grandes superficies de humedales en las áreas analizadas. Ante esto, las alternativas para reducir los efectos del cambio de uso de suelo son la elaboración del ordenamiento ecológico territorial y del programa de desarrollo urbano donde se haga partícipe el uso de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica, la teledetección ambiental y la implementación de modelos geomáticos para el análisis espacial.

Ao longo do tempo foram criados diversos tipos de manejos adequados para cada Unidade de Conservação (UCs), dentre eles, a Zona de Amortecimento (ZA) surge com o papel de filtrar os impactos negativos das atividades que ocorrem ao seu redor. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar as modificações do uso da terra na ZA da Estação Ecológica de Assis – SP, nos anos 2000 e 2017. Para a realização do trabalho foram utilizadas imagens dos satélites Landsat 5/TM e Landsat 8/OLI, as imagens foram processadas em ambiente SIG e geradas os mapeamentos de perdas e ganhos utilizando o módulo Land Change Modeler (LCM) do software Idrisi-Taiga, o qual apresenta grande importância para a realização de estudos ambientais. Foi possível observar, a redução da pastagem e o aumento das culturas temporárias na porção norte e leste da área, nesses dezessete anos analisados, obteve um ganho de área de 12,29 %. Destaca-se que o entorno se encontra tomado integralmente por cultura temporária e silvicultura, que afetam a conservação, podendo gerar a perda da biodiversidade e o desmatamento neste local, sendo assim o conhecimento dos parâmetros analisados permite a utilização de técnicas adequadas para a preservação efetiva. Portanto, a utilização de dados orbitais pode contribuir ao monitoramento das UCs evitando a degradação ambiental.
