Abstract. In 2009, the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) was initiated as a community effort, funded by European Space Agency, to serve centralised data hosting facility for globally available in situ soil moisture measurements (Dorigo et al., 2011b, a). The ISMN brings together collected and freely shared multitude of organisations, harmonises them terms units sampling rates, applies advanced quality control, stores database. Users can retrieve from this database through an online...
Abstract. OzFlux is the regional Australian and New Zealand flux tower network that aims to provide a continental-scale national research facility monitor assess trends, improve predictions, of Australia's terrestrial biosphere climate. This paper describes evolution, design, current status as well provides an overview data processing. We analyse measurements from all sites within portion two Zealand. The response biomes climate was largely consistent with global studies except systems had...
Terrestrial plant productivity tends to increase under increasing but non-saturating photosynthetically active solar radiation when water, temperature and nutrients are not limiting. However, studies have shown that photosynthesis can also be higher enhanced diffuse light despite a decrease in total irradiance. Clouds atmospheric aerosols two important variables determine the proportion of reaching surface thereby rate carbon accumulation plants. In addition these factors, response plants is...
Effective monitoring is necessary to conserve mangroves from further loss in Malaysia. In this context, remote sensing capable of providing information on mangrove status and changes over a large spatial extent continuous manner. study we used Landsat satellite images analyze the period 25 years areas Iskandar Malaysia (IM), fastest growing national special economic region located southern Johor, We tested use two widely digital classification techniques classify areas. The Maximum...
Study Region Johor River Basin (JRB), Malaysia. Focus The study generates long time-series land use and cover (LULC) change at 5- years interval using Google Earth Engine investigate the LULC changes river morphology of JRB. Intensity analysis on was conducted to highlight transition between LULC. Targeted from natural disturbed lands were detected, which impact basin. identified along River, based centerline migration derived Channel Migration Toolbox. New Hydrological Insights for JRB has...
The world's forests are experiencing rapid changes due to land-use and climate change. However, a detailed map of global forest gain at fine spatial temporal resolutions is still missing. To fill this gap, we developed an automatic framework for mapping annual globally using Landsat time series, the LandTrendr algorithm, Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. First, stable samples collected based on first all-season sample set (FAST) automated migrate method were used determine Normalized Burn...
Savannas are highly significant global ecosystems that consist of a mix trees and grasses spatially varied in their physical structure, species composition, physiological function (i.e., leaf area function, stem density, albedo, roughness). Variability ecosystem characteristics alters biophysical biogeochemical processes can affect regional to circulation patterns, which not well characterized by land surface models. We initiated multidisciplinary field campaign called Savanna Patterns...
Mangrove is classified as an important ecosystem along the shorelines of tropical and subtropical landmasses, which are being degraded at alarming rate despite numerous international treaties having been agreed. Iskandar Malaysia (IM) a fast-growing economic region in southern Peninsular Malaysia, where three Ramsar Sites located. Since beginning 21st century (2000–2019), total loss 2907.29 ha mangrove area has estimated based on medium-high resolution remote sensing data. This corresponds...

Southeast Asia (SEA) is a hotspot region for atmospheric pollution and haze conditions, due to extensive forest, agricultural peat fires. This study aims estimate the PM2.5 concentrations across Malaysia using machine-learning (ML) models like Random Forest (RF) Support Vector Regression (SVR), based on satellite AOD (aerosol optical depth) observations, ground measured air pollutants (NO2, SO2, CO, O3) meteorological parameters (air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed direction). The...
This study evaluated the influence of upstream inputs into Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) primary productivity products, termed MOD17, at tropical oil palm plantations (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.). Evaluation MOD17 using as test sites is ideal because are cultivated on large areas which comparable with size MODIS pixels. It difficult to find covered by other single species in a whole pixel. The studied included (1) land cover, (2) National Centers for Environmental...
