Being the only tidal river where major Indian carps spawn naturally, Halda is a unique heritage of Bangladesh and surroundings this undergo chronological changes because rapid urbanization, anthropogenic socioeconomic activities. In study, an attempt has been made to analyze Land use/land cover change (LULCC) Watershed over last 40 years using multispectral satellite data obtained from Landsat 2 MSS for April 15, 1978; 5 TM February 26, 1999 8 OLI/TIRS May 2, 2017. The watershed classified...
Abstract Violence in Rakhine State of Myanmar forcibly displaced nearly one million Rohingya. They took refuge, from August 25, 2017 to the time writing, Cox's Bazar – Teknaf Peninsula Bangladesh. Initially, 2,000 ha forested lands had be cleared accommodate them most ecologically critical areas (ECA) Peninsula. To support Rohingyas livelihoods, fuelwood collection and illegal logging have become widespread since their arrival, causing severe environmental degradation, including loss a vast...
Overdependence on and exploitation of forest resources have significantly transformed the natural reserve Sundarban, which shares largest mangrove territory in world, into a great degradation status. By observing these, most pressing concern is how much occurred past, what will be scenarios future if they continue? To confirm status past decades reveal trend, we took Sundarban Reserve Forest (SRF) as an example, used satellite Earth observation historical Landsat imagery between 1989 2019...
Overdependence and cumulative anthropogenic stresses have caused world forests to decrease at an unprecedented rate, especially in Southeast Asia. The Cox’s Bazar–Teknaf Peninsula of Bangladesh is not exception follows the global deforestation trend. Despite being one country’s richest forest ecosystems with multiple wildlife sanctuaries, reserve forests, influential habitats, peninsula now providing shelter for nearly million Rohingya refugees. With trend coupled excessive from population,...
Understanding spatial change and its driving factors behind coastal development is essential for management restoration. There an urgent need quantitative assessments of sustainable in the ecosystems that are most affected by anthropogenic activities climate change. This study built a theme-based evaluation methodology with Natural-Economic-Social (NES) complex ecosystem proposed system (CSD) to understand interactions between activities. The approach revealed levels natural, economic,...
The acquisition of dynamic coastline change at fine spatial and temporal resolution is essential for enhancing sustainable coastal economic development environmental conservation. Port construction, land reclamation, urban development, sediment deposition have resulted in extensive change. In this study, the coastlines along 56 countries 1990, 2000, 2010, 2015, 2020 were delineated classified into six categories using Landsat time–series images. Five relevant indices, i.e., length, length...
Violence in Rakhine, Myanmar forcibly displaced nearly one million Rohingya who took refuge Cox's Bazar–Teknaf peninsula of Bangladesh. Initially, 2,000 ha forested lands had to be cleared accommodate them an area, that is ecologically very sensitive. Fuelwood collection and illegal logging have become widespread since their arrival, causing severe environmental degradation, including loss a vast amount forest cover. To devise conservation strategies highly sensitive ecosystem, it imperative...
The economic development of the coastal areas has promoted construction port and led to expansion city. This study selects 35 cities along Maritime Silk Road develop a Port-City Relationship Index (PCRI) from analysis city stage spatial structural change. Three types relationship models are proposed: centralized city, marginal separated We compared distribution variation PCRI values over four time periods for cities. results show that ports in West Asia, Africa Europe basically mature,...
Natural regeneration is an essential tool to evaluate the overall health of a forest ecosystem. tree species in Madhupur National Park showed 47 regenerating among which Shorea robusta has maximum density (18,046 seedlings per ha) followed by Aporosa sp., whereas minimum (19 seedling was recorded for Cassia nodosa, Litsea glutinosa, Grewia asiatica and Syzygium cumini, respectively. Relative density, relative frequency abundance were estimated assess Importance Value Index (IVI) different...
