Monsoon crops play a critical role in Indian agriculture, hence, monitoring these crops is vital for supporting economic growth and food security for the country. However, monitoring these crops is challenging due to limited availability of optical s...
Abandoned cropland has been expanding due to complex socio-economic factors such as urbanization, demographic shifts, and declining agricultural profitability. As abandoned cropland simultaneously brings ecological, environmental, and social risks an...
Urbanization plays an important role in biodiversity loss across the globe due to natural habitat loss in the form of landscape conversion and habitat fragmentation on which species depend. To study the bird diversity in the peri-urban landscape, we...
Owing to the recent intensification of the East Asian summer monsoon, the frequency of floods and dry spells, which commonly affect more than one billion people, is continuously increasing. Thus, understanding the causes of changes in the EASM is par...
Estimation of evapotranspiration plays an important role in understanding the water cycle on the earth, especially the water budget in agricultural ecosystems. The parameterization approach of the Penman-Monteith-Katerji-Perrier (PM-KP) model, accoun...
As part of its nationally determined contributions as well as national forest policy goals, India plans to boost tree cover to 33% of its land area. Land currently under other uses will require tree-plantations or reforestation to achieve this goal....
Groundwater has rapidly evolved as a primary source for irrigation in Indian agriculture. Over-exploitation of the groundwater substantially depletes the natural water table and has negative impacts on the water resource availability. The overarching...
The eddy covariance (EC) technique has been widely used as a micrometeorological tool to measure carbon, water and energy exchanges. When utilizing the EC measurements, it is critical to be aware of the long-term information on source areas. In China...
The increasing rate of land use change, particularly deforestation and agricultural expansion, has intensified soil degradation, leading to reduced sediment retention and accelerated soil erosion. This study aims to analyze soil erosion and sediment...
In this paper, we present the Daily based Morgan–Morgan–Finney model. The main processes in this model are based on the Morgan–Morgan–Finney soil erosion model, and it is suitable for estimating surface runoff and sediment redistribution patterns in...
In the 21st century, the effect of land use/land cover change (LULCC) on climate has become an area of active research. To explore the effects of LULCC on temperature and precipitation in China, we used outputs from the BCC-CSM2-MR, CESM2, IPSL-CM6A-...
The Qiandao Lake Basin (QLB), which occupies low hilly terrain in the monsoon region of southeastern China, is facing serious environmental challenges due to human activities and climate change. Here, we investigated source attribution, transport pro...
India has experienced significant Land-Use and Land-Cover Change (LULCC) over the past few decades. In this context, careful observation and mapping of LULCC using satellite data of high to medium spatial resolution is crucial for understanding the l...
This study examines the behavior of land surface temperature (LST) and surface urban heat island (SUHI) from MODIS data over Ahmedabad city, Gujarat state (India), from 2003 to 2018. Summer and winter LST patterns were analyzed, both daytime and nigh...
Accurate and timely acquisition of cropping intensity and spatial distribution of paddy rice is not only an important basis for monitoring growth and predicting yields, but also for ensuring food security and optimizing the agricultural production ma...
