Forest disturbance induced by tropical cyclone often has significant and profound effects on the structure and function of forest ecosystem. Detection and analysis of post-disaster forest disturbance based on remote sensing technology has been widely applied. At present, it is necessary to conduct further quantitative analysis of the magnitude of forest disturbance with the intensity of typhoon. In this study, taking the case of super typhoon Rammasun (201409), we analysed the sensitivity of four common used remote sensing indices and explored the relationship between remote sensing index and corresponding wind speeds based on pre-and post- Landsat-8 OLI (Operational Land Imager) images and a parameterized wind field model. The results proved that NBR is the most sensitive index for the detection of forest disturbance induced by Typhoon Rammasun and the variation of NBR has a significant linear dependence relation with the simulated 3-second gust wind speed.

The existence and services of mangrove ecosystems in Segara Anakan are threatened by changes in land use on land and global warming, which requires proper and intensive monitoring. The monitoring of mangrove and its trend over large areas can be done using multi-temporal remote sensing technology. However, remote sensing data is often contaminated by cloud cover, and its corresponding shadow resulted in missing data. This study aims to assess the performance of the existed gap-filling techniques, such as, linear, spline, stineman,  data interpolation Empirical Orthogonal Function (dineof) and spatial downscaling strategy employing the Proba-V imagery in 100 m, when being used for estimating the missing data and depicting the trend in NDVI from Landsat 8 OLI by using Mann-Kendall test. Our result suggested that EOF-based interpolation gave better prediction results and more accurate in predicting longer missing data. Linear interpolation, on the other hand, was accurate to predict shorter missing data. Overall, all interpolation results can reconstruct 64 (spline) to 72 % (dineof) of missing data in NDVI with the RMSE of 0.10 (dineof) – 0.13 (spline). A consistent decreasing trend was also found from the four interpolation methods, which showed the consistency of the interpolated values when used for deriving trends with similar patterns of overall decreasing trend and magnitude of changes of -0.0095 to -0.0099 (NDVI unit) over the mangrove areas in 2015. The result demonstrated the potential ability of gap-filling methods for simulating the value of missing data and for deriving trends.

As a basic agricultural parameter in the formation, transformation, and consumption of surface water resources, soil moisture has a very important influence on the vegetation growth, agricultural production, and healthy operation of regional ecosystems. The Aksu river basin is a typical semi-arid agricultural area which seasonally suffers from water shortage. Due to the lack of knowledge on soil moisture change, the water management and decision-making processes have been a difficult issue for local government. Therefore, soil moisture monitoring by remote sensing became a reasonable way to schedule crop irrigation and evaluate the irrigation efficiency. Compared to in situ measurements, the use of remote sensing for the monitoring of soil water content is convenient and can be repetitively applied over a large area. To verify the applicability of the typical drought index to the rapid acquisition of soil moisture in arid and semi-arid regions, this study simulated, compared, and validated the effectiveness of soil moisture inversion. GF-1 WFV images, Landsat 8 OLI images, and the measured soil moisture data were used to determine the Perpendicular Drought Index (PDI), the Modified Perpendicular Drought Index (MPDI), and the Vegetation Adjusted Perpendicular Drought Index (VAPDI). First, the determination coefficients of the correlation analyses on the PDI, MPDI, VAPDI, and measured soil moisture in the 0–10, 10–20, and 20–30 cm depth layers based on the GF-1 WFV and Landsat 8 OLI images were good. Notably, in the 0–10 cm depth layers, the average determination coefficient was 0.68; all models met the accuracy requirements of soil moisture inversion. Both indicated that the drought indices based on the Near Infrared (NIR)-Red spectral space derived from the optical remote sensing images are more sensitive to soil moisture near the surface layer; however, the accuracy of retrieving the soil moisture in deep layers was slightly lower in the study area. Second, in areas of vegetation coverage, MPDI and VAPDI had a higher inversion accuracy than PDI. To a certain extent, they overcame the influence of mixed pixels on the soil moisture spectral information. VAPDI modified by Perpendicular Vegetation Index (PVI) was not susceptible to vegetation saturation and, thus, had a higher inversion accuracy, which makes it performs better than MPDI’s in vegetated areas. Third, the spatial heterogeneity of the soil moisture retrieved by the GF-1 WFV and Landsat 8 OLI image were similar. However, the GF-1 WFV images were more sensitive to changes in the soil moisture, which reflected the actual soil moisture level covered by different vegetation. These results provide a practical reference for the dynamic monitoring of surface soil moisture, obtaining agricultural information and agricultural condition parameters in arid and semi-arid regions.

Tapaktuan is the capital and administrative center of South Aceh Regency, which is a sub-district level city area known as Naga City. Tapaktuan is designated as a sub-district to be used for the expansion of the capital's land. Consideration of land suitability is needed so that the development of settlements in Tapaktuan District is directed. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of land use change from 2014 to 2018 by using remote sensing technology in the form of Landsat-8 OLI satellite data through image classification methods by determining the training area of the image which then automatically categorizes all pixels in the image into land cover class. The results obtained are the results of the two image classification tests stating the accuracy of the interpretation of more than 80% and the results of the classification of land cover divided into seven forms of land use, namely plantations, forests, settlements, open land, and clouds. From these classes, the area of land cover change in Tapaktuan is increasing in size from year to year.

Indonesia is an Archipelago Country because the Country of Indonesia consists of many islands stretching from Sabang in the west to the island of Merauke on the east. The Archipelago Country also comes from the old name of the Indonesian Country called Nusantara, because Nusantara is a country that consists of many islands. Indonesia is an Archipelago Country which means it has potential resources in the coastal areas, one of which is found on the northern coast of Java. The coastal area is an important area to be reviewed, one of which is the use of coastal resources by paying attention to the condition of the ecosystem that remains stable. Opportunities for coastal area utilization in the field of fisheries are in the form of fishing activities or fish farming, especially pond cultivation activities. Based on data from the Department of Marine and Fisheries of the Province of Central Java in 2010, pond cultivation is one of the potential resources on the coast. This potential is supported by the government to increase fish production in order to increase the consumption of fish in the community. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the most effective method of pond cultivation between traditional methods and intensive methods to optimize fish production. One indicator of effectiveness between the two methods can be seen from the phytoplankton distribution. Phytoplankton contains chlorophyll-a in the body and is a natural food from fish. Phytoplankton provides important ecological functions for the aquatic life cycle by serving as the basis of food webs in water. Phytoplankton also functions as the main food item in freshwater fish culture and seawater fish cultivation. Therefore, it is necessary to know the chlorophyll-a concentration in the ponds of traditional and intensive methods to determine the concentration chlorophyll-a of the two pond methods. One method used to determine the concentration of chlorophyll-a using remote sensing technology. Remote sensing technology can be used to determine the concentration of chlorophyll-a using the Wouthuyzen, Wibowo, Pentury, Much Jisin Arief and Lestari Laksmi algorithms. The results showed that the Pentury algorithm was relatively better to determine the concentration of chlorophyll-a in shallow waters (ponds). The lowest concentration of chlorophyll-a in traditional ponds is 0.47068 mg/m3, the highest concentration is 1.95017 mg/m3 and the average concentration is 1.12893 mg/m3, while in intensive ponds the lowest concentration is 0.36713 mg/m3, the concentration the highest is 3.17063 mg/m3 and the average concentration is 1.53556 mg/m3.

Pastagens sob práticas de manejo ineficientes tornam-se degradadas, provocando sérios problemas socioambientais e econômicos. Assim, entender a dinâmica dos sistemas pastoris e suas interações com o meio físico torna-se essencial na busca de alternativas sustentáveis para a agropecuária. Estudou-se manejo, dinâmica anual e interações socioambientais em pastagens de uma bacia hidrográfica no bioma Mata Atlântica em Minas Gerais, Brasil, durante o ano hidrológico 2016/2017. Utilizou-se dados de campo, relatos de agricultores e sensoriamento remoto via imagens LANDSAT 8 OLI e Google Earth Pro®. Foi proposto um índice de qualidade para pastagens da região. As pastagens apresentaram, em média, qualidade moderada. Níveis de degradação foram altos, oscilando de forma quadrática (níveis 2, 4, 5 e IDP) e potencial (nível 1) com a precipitação (p < 0,01), o que sugere que a irrigação possa ser prática eficiente no controle da degradação. Durante o ano, pelo menos 51,27% das pastagens apresentaram algum sinal de degradação, atingindo-se a marca de 91,32%, no período seco. Os resultados sugerem pior qualidade e maiores níveis de degradação de pastagens em terras elevadas e declivosas. Devido às condições socioambientais locais, indica-se o uso de sistemas silvipastoris agroecológicos no manejo das pastagens.Palavras-chave: uso da terra, sensoriamento remoto, relação solo paisagem, Zona da Mata, índice de qualidade. MANAGEMENT, QUALITY AND DEGRADATION DYNAMICS OF PASTURES IN ATLANTIC FOREST BIOME, MINAS GERAIS – BRASIL ABSTRACT:Pastures under inefficient management practices get degraded, leading to serious socioeconomic and environmental issues. That being said, understanding the dynamics of such systems and their interaction with the environment is essential when it comes to looking towards sustainable alternatives for livestock activities. The management, annual dynamics and socio-environmental interactions in pastures in an hydrographic basin located in Atlantic Forest biome, Minas Gerais, Brasil, were studied during the hydrological year of 2016/2017. Field data and farmers reports were utilized, such as remote sensing via images from LANDSAT 8 OLI and Google Earth Pro®. A quality index was proposed for the pastures, which usually presented medium quality. Degradation levels were high, oscillating in a quadratic basis (levels 2, 4, 5 and IDP) and potential (level 1) with precipitation (p < 0,01), which suggests that irrigation might be an efficient practice when it comes to degradation control. During the year, at least 51,27% of pastures have presented signs of degradation, achieving 91,32% in dry periods. The results suggest less quality and bigger degradation levels in pastures located in high and steep areas. Considering the local environmental conditions, agroecological silvopasture systems are recommended regarding the pastures management.Keywords: land use, remote sensing, soil/landscape relationships, Zona da Mata, quality index.

This study applied GIS and remote sensing technology to assess agricultural land use and vegetative cover in Kano Metropolis. It specifically examined the intensity of land use for agricultural and non agricultural purpose from 1975 – 2015. Images (1975, 1995 and 2015), landsat MSS/TM, landsat 8, scene of path 188 and 052 were downloaded for the study. Bonds for these imported scenes were processed using ENVI 5.0 version. The result indicated five classified features-settlement, farmland, water body, vegetation and bare land. The finding revealed an increase in settlement, vegetation and bare land between 1995 and 2015, however, farmland decreased in 2015. Indicatively, higher percentage of land use for non agricultural purposes was observed in recent time. Conclusively, there is need to accord surveying the rightful place and priority in agricultural planning and development if Nigeria is to be self food sufficient.

&lt;p&gt;Lineament mapping is an important step for lithological and hydrothermal alterations mapping. It is considered as an efficient research task which can be a part of structural investigation and mineral ore deposits identification. The availability of optical as well as radar remote sensing data, such as Landsat 8 OLI, Terra ASTER and ALOS PALSAR data, allows lineaments mapping at regional and national scale. The accuracy of the obtained results depends strongly on the spatial and spectral resolution of the data. The aim of this study was to compare Landsat 8 OLI, Terra ASTER, and radar ALOS PALSAR satellite data for automatic and manual lineaments extraction. The module Line of PCI Geomatica software was applied on PC1 OLI, PC3 ASTER and HH and HV polarization images to automatically extract geological lineaments. However, the manual extraction was achieved using the RGB color composite of the directional filtered images N - S (0&amp;#176;), NE - SW (45&amp;#176;) and E - W (90&amp;#176;) of the OLI panchromatic band 8. The obtained lineaments from automatic and manual extraction were compared against the faults and photo-geological lineaments digitized from the existing geological map of the study area. The extracted lineaments from PC1 OLI and ALOS PALSAR polarizations images showed the best correlation with faults and photo-geological lineaments. The results indicate that the lineaments extracted from HH and HV polarizations of ALOS PALSAR radar data used in this study, with 1499 and 1507 extracted lineaments, were more efficient for structural lineament mapping, as well as the PC1 OLI image with 1057 lineaments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keywords&lt;/strong&gt; Remote Sensing .
