Abstract Recent studies have shown that global Penman‐Monteith equation based (PM‐based) models poorly simulate water stress when estimating evapotranspiration (ET) in areas having a Mediterranean climate (AMC). In this study, we propose novel approach using precipitation, vertical root distribution (VRD), and satellite‐retrieved vegetation information to PM‐based model (RS‐WBPM) address issue. A multilayer balance module is employed the soil factor (SWSF) of multiple layers at different...

Drought is a very complex natural hazard and has negative impact on the global ecosystem as whole. Recently Bangladesh been experiencing by different degree of dryness consequence high climate variability, affecting crop production to great extent in last couple decades. In this context, present study was made an effort assess analyse drought characteristics based two indices, i.e., Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) Vegetation Condition (VCI), model agricultural risk with...

Proper estimation and spatiotemporal trend analysis of net primary productivity (NPP) are very important for forest ecosystem monitoring management. In this article, we investigate the variability Boreal Ecosystem Productivity Simulator (BEPS)-derived NPP over Nepal during period 2000–2015. This study is first attempt to simulate nation-wide at 500 m spatial resolution daily step recent 16-year period. our work, use a process-based model BEPS, estimate in Nepal. All meteorological, cover,...

Global warming threatens ecosystem functions, biodiversity, and rangeland productivity in Mongolia. The study analyzes the spatial temporal distributions of Net Primary Production (NPP) its response to climatic parameters. also highlights how various land cover types respond fluctuations from 2003 2018. Boreal Ecosystem Productivity Simulator (BEPS) model was used simulate NPP last 16 years. Satellite remote sensing data products were mainly as input for model, where ground-based MODIS...

This paper investigates the views of multi-stakeholders on governance quality existing forest management strategies for red panda (Ailurus fulgens) protection in Nepal, focusing general, conservation programmes and natural habitat particular. The study deployed two surveys August September 2020. first survey was conducted online stakeholders with internet access; those without, it over phone. While results reveal almost similar perspectives among regarding effectiveness approaches, they...

The reliable monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of carbon emissions removals from the forest sector is an important part efforts on reducing deforestation degradation (REDD+). Forest-dependent local communities are engaged to contribute MRV through community-based monitoring systems. efficiency such systems could be improved rational integration studies at permanent plots with geospatial technologies. This article presents a case study integrating measurements foothills central...

Forest shares 80% of total exchange carbon between the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystem. Due to this monitoring forest above ground biomass (as can be calculated as 0.47 part biomass) has become very important. being major portion should given a careful consideration in its estimation. It is hoped useful addressing ongoing problems deforestation degradation gain mitigation benefits through mechanisms like Reducing Emissions from Deforestation Degradation (REDD+). Many methods estimation...
