Large area land-cover monitoring scenarios, involving large volumes of data, are becoming more prevalent in remote sensing applications. Thus, there is a pressing need for increased automation in the change mapping process. The objective of this research is to compare the performance of three machine learning algorithms (MLAs); two classification tree software routines (S-plus and C4.5) and an artificial neural network (ARTMAP), in the context of mapping land-cover modifications in northern and southern California study sites between 1990/91 and 1996. Comparisons were based on several criteria: overall accuracy, sensitivity to data set size and variation, and noise. ARTMAP produced the most accurate maps overall (similar to 84%), for two study areas - in southern and northern California, and was most resistant to training data deficiencies. The change map generated using ARTMAP has similar accuracies to a human-interpreted map produced by the U.S. Forest Service in the southern study area. ARTMAP appears to be robust and accurate for automated, large area change monitoring as it performed equally well across the diverse study areas with minimal human intervention in the classification process.

Carbon loss and removal due to forest disturbance and regeneration in the Amazon

Eric L. Bullock, Curtis E. Woodcock

Summary: Forest carbon flux is the difference between carbon loss and CO2 removal due to photosynthesis. The Amazon rainforest contributes a quarter of global emissions from land use change, largely due to its size and carbon storage. Despite deforestation being the main contributor to carbon loss, degradation and natural disturbance also play significant roles.

Spatiotemporal assessment of land use/land cover change and associated carbon emissions and uptake in the Mekong River Basin

Xiaojing Tang, Curtis E. Woodcock, Pontus Olofsson, Lucy R. Hutyra

Summary: This study analyzed the land use and land cover change in the Mekong River Basin from 2001 to 2019, showing that the establishment of plantations and agricultural expansion are the major components of land use change in the region. The study found that most deforested areas were converted into tree plantations, with carbon uptake from new plantations offsetting almost half of the emissions from deforestation in the area. Assessing post-deforestation land use is crucial for understanding the carbon consequences of land use change.

Summary: The arctic and boreal biomes are undergoing changes in disturbance events due to increasing temperatures. The study used the CCDC algorithm to analyze Landsat observations and map causes of disturbance such as fire, logging, and pest damage. Disturbance rates due to logging remained constant while fires were more episodic, and insect damage was highest between 2005 and 2010.

Low-amplitude brittle deformations revealed by UAV surveys in alluvial fans along the northwest coast of Lake Baikal: Neotectonic significance and geological hazards

Oksana V. Lunina, Anton A. Gladkov, Alexey V. Bochalgin

Summary: In this study, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was used to detect and map surface discontinuities with displacements of a few centimeters, indicating the presence of initial geological deformations. The study found that sediments of alluvial fans are susceptible to various tectonic and exogenous deformational processes, and the interpretation of ultra-high resolution UAV images can help recognize low-amplitude brittle deformations at an early stage. UAV surveys are critical for discerning neotectonic activity and its related hazards over short observation periods.

Choosing a sample size allocation to strata based on trade-offs in precision when estimating accuracy and area of a rare class from a stratified sample

Stephen Stehman, John E. Wagner

Summary: This article investigates optimal sample allocation in stratified random sampling for estimation of accuracy and proportion of area in applications where the target class is rare. The study finds that precision of estimated accuracy has a stronger impact on sample allocation than estimation of proportion of area, and the trade-offs among these estimates become more pronounced as the target class becomes rarer. The results provide quantitative evidence to guide sample allocation decisions in specific applications.

Summary: Soil moisture and freeze/thaw (F/T) play a crucial role in water and heat exchanges at the land-atmosphere interface. This study reports the establishment of a wireless sensor network for soil moisture and temperature over the permafrost region of Tibetan Plateau. Satellite-based surface soil moisture (SSM) and F/T products were evaluated using ground-based measurements. The results show the reliability of L-band passive microwave SSM and F/T products, while existing F/T products display earlier freezing and later thawing, leading to unsatisfactory accuracy.
