Development of a Historical Multi-Year Land Cover Classification Incorporating Wildfire Effects

Morrison, Katherine D.; Kolden, Crystal A. - In: Land 3 (2014) 4, pp. 1214-1231

Land cover change impacts ecosystem function across the globe. The use of land cover data is vital in the detection of these changes over time; however, most available land cover products, such as the National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD), are produced relatively infrequently. The most recent NLCD...

Landscape Fire, Biodiversity Decline and a Rapidly Changing Milieu: A Microcosm of Global Issues in an Australian Biodiversity Hotspot

Gill, A. Malcolm; McKenna, David J.; Wouters, Michael A. - In: Land 3 (2014) 3, pp. 1091-1136

The Adelaide-Mt Lofty Region of South Australia is an exemplar, in microcosm, of the issues confronting biodiversity conservation in a world of increasing population and a drying, fire-prone environment. At just 0.1% of Australia’s terrestrial land mass, this area is largely peninsular and...

Vertical Distribution of Soil Organic Carbon Density in Relation to Land Use/Cover, Altitude and Slope Aspect in the Eastern Himalayas

Dorji, Tshering; Odeh, Inakwu O. A.; Field, Damien J. - In: Land 3 (2014) 4, pp. 1232-1250

In-depth understanding about the vertical distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) density is crucial for carbon (C) accounting, C budgeting and designing appropriate C sequestration strategies. We examined the vertical distribution of SOC density under different land use/land cover (LULC)...

“Bring Back the Land”—A Call to Refocus on the Spatial Dimension of Zimbabwe’s Land Reform

Hentze, Konrad; Menz, Gunter - In: Land 4 (2015) 2, pp. 355-377

In this article, we argue that research on land reform in the nation of Zimbabwe has overlooked possibilities of integrating geospatial methods into analyses and, at the same time, geographers have not adequately developed techniques for this application. Scholars have generally been captured...

Translocation of Cd and Mn from Bark to Leaves in Willows on Contaminated Sediments: Delayed Budburst Is Related to High Mn Concentrations

Vandecasteele, Bart; Quataert, Paul; Piesschaert, Frederic - In: Land 4 (2015) 2, pp. 255-280

Changes in the hydrology of sediments in tidal marshes or landfills may affect the uptake of metals in the vegetation. Leaf and stem samples of Salix cinerea (grey sallow) were collected during four consecutive growing seasons at six contaminated plots on a polluted dredged sediment landfill and...

Agent-Based Models as “Interested Amateurs”

Johnson, Peter George - In: Land 4 (2015) 2, pp. 281-299

This paper proposes the use of agent-based models (ABMs) as “interested amateurs” in policy making, and uses the example of the SWAP model of soil and water conservation adoption to demonstrate the potential of this approach. Daniel Dennett suggests experts often talk past or misunderstand...

Landcover Change, Land Surface Temperature, Surface Albedo and Topography in the Plateau Region of North-Central Nigeria

Odunuga, Shakirudeen; Badru, Gbolahan - In: Land 4 (2015) 2, pp. 300-324

This study assessed the change in some environmental parameters in the Plateau region of North-Central Nigeria (Barakinladi, Jos, and Kafachan environs) using the nexus of landcover change, land surface temperature, surface albedo, and topography. The study employed both remote sensing and...

Monitoring 60 Years of Land Cover Change in the Marathon Area, Greece

Gaitanis, Apostolos; Kalogeropoulos, Kleomenis; Detsis, … - In: Land 4 (2015) 2, pp. 337-354

This study deals with the landscape evolution reflected in the changes of land cover in the suburban area of Marathon, Attica, Greece. The study was based on remote sensing images covering the time period between 1945 and 2007. Several other types of data were also used, such as a digital...
