Implementing a scheduled and reliable estimation of forest characteristics is important for the sustainable management forests. This study aimed at evaluating capability Sentinel-2 satellite data to estimate above-ground biomass (AGB) in coppice forests Persian oak (Quercus brantii var. persica) located Western Iran. To AGB, field collection was implemented 80 square plots (40×40 m, area 1600 m2). Two diameters crown were measured used calculate AGB each tree based on allometric equations....
Forest nationalization policies in developing countries have often led to a reduction local forest ownership rights and short- or long-term exploitative behaviors of stakeholders. The purpose this research is quantify the effect Iran’s Nationalization Law (FNL) part Zagros over 68-year time period (1955–2022) using 1955 historical aerial photos, 1968 Corona spy satellite photography, classification multi-temporal Landsat images. A past change detection technique was used identify extent...
Wildfires present a major global environmental issue, exacerbated by climate change. The Iranian Northern Zagros Forests, characterized Mediterranean climate, are particularly vulnerable to fires during hot, dry summers. This study investigates the impact of change on forest in these forests from 2006 2023. analysis revealed significant year-to-year fluctuations, with notable fire occurrence years 2007, 2010, 2021, and largest burned area occurred covering 2655.66 ha, while had smallest...
Our ability to forecast future Land use/cover changes (LUCC) is extremely limited due lack of understanding how rapid and drastic like socio-economic shocks disturbances (e.g., policy economic crises) affect land use/cover. Energy policies changing in Iran have been implemented since 2010. In this study, we explored whether energy the sustainability forest cover LUCC. Results showed that time periods before after implementation policies, 2,841 3,155 ha forests converted other covers,...
The overall objective of this study was to investigate urban infill development policies as a good solution counteract sprawl and protect the peri-urban area Ardabil in Northwestern Iran. In context, we used mixed methodology (two quantitative methods). Landsat imagery, including patchy ETM+ for year 2000 8 2020, map assess land use land-use change, ArcGIS potential city. results show that between 967 hectares lost expansion. CA-Markov projections also showed 452 will be by 2030. assessment...
Many countries have implemented policies to reduce the negative effects of deforestation. In Iran, Zagros Forest Preservation Plan (ZFPP) began in 2003. This study evaluates effectiveness ZFPP on land cover changes two periods, before (1993–2002) and after (2002–2017) implementation plan. Logistic regression (LR) analysis was used examine key socio-economic, environmental demographic drivers associated with deforestation activities. The results showed that despite forest conversion other...
در این پژوهش، نقشه نواحی با خطر زیاد آتش سوزی جنگل بر پایه عامل های ارتفاع از سطح دریا، شیب، جهت، متوسط بارندگی سالانه، حداکثر دمای ماهانه، کاربری و پوشش اراضی، فاصله جاده، رودخانه، زمین کشاورزی تراکم جمعیت سردشت به وسعت 273/3 کیلومترمربع تهیه شد. مرحله اول انجام عملیات میدانی، مناطق شده شد، سپس استفاده روش فرآیند تحلیل سلسله مراتبی، وزن یا اهمیت نسبی هر یک مؤثر وقوع دست آمد. برای محاسبه طبقات مذکور، نسبت فراوانی بعد، براساس ترکیب وزنی رقومی سوزی، پهنه بندی Jenks پنج طبقه جنگل، شامل خیلی کم...
In recent decades, Zagros forests from western Iran have experienced dramatic changes in cover and structure. Conservation policies, on the other hand, existed or are being implemented these since 2002 to prevent deforestation. There is, however, question how effective were conservation policies preventing forest loss. The goal of this study was analyze effect loss, as well forecast their future effectiveness. Since spatio-temporal cover, land-use its patterns occur a non-linear way, based...
The goal of this study was to estimate the areas under willow cultivation by farmers, as well their growth and health status. Due extremely small patch size land cover types in area, Sentinel-2 data were used conduct supervised classification based on random forest machine learning technique, a large training dataset produced from PlanetScope satellite imagery. results image using Google Earth Engine indicated that Sentinel suitable for identifying willow-cultivated areas. It found these...
