EXPLORATION OF IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINANTS OF FLOWERING PHENOLOGY IN THE WESTERN HIMALAYAN FORESTS OF DHIRKOT, AZAD JAMMU AND KASHMIR, PAKISTAN

N. Khalid et al.

Summary: This study explores the interactions between the flowering phenology of vascular plants and climate variations in the western Himalayan region of Dhirkot, Pakistan. The results reveal that climate variables play a significant role in determining the timing of flowering, with temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and soil moisture being important factors. The study highlights the potential detrimental effects of future temperature increases on the delicate Himalayan ecosystem.

Agricultural Field Extraction with Deep Learning Algorithm and Satellite Imagery

Alireza Sharifi et al.

Summary: This article introduces a method for detecting field borders in remote sensing images using a multi-task segmentation model. The method utilizes the ResUNet-a convolutional neural network to achieve fast and accurate border detection, and performs field segmentation using post-processing of model outputs. Experimental results demonstrate that the method can effectively identify field borders and produce precise field border and segmentation results.

Using ensemble modeling to predict breeding habitat of the red-listed Western Tragopan (Tragopan melanocephalus) in the Western Himalayas of Pakistan

Muhammad Naeem Awan et al.

Summary: Quantifying the geographic range of a species is crucial for effective conservation management, as seen in the case of the Western Tragopan in Pakistan. The developed model predicted potential breeding habitat, with only 2.6% being highly suitable, indicating the urgent need for protection measures to prevent further habitat deterioration for this globally threatened species.

Monitoring of Land Use-Land Cover Change and Potential Causal Factors of Climate Change in Jhelum District, Punjab, Pakistan, through GIS and Multi-Temporal Satellite Data

Muhammad Majeed et al.

Summary: The study found that most farmers believe that climate change has become more severe in the past 30 years, leading to issues such as reduced rainfall, drought, and decreased irrigation water. The overall accuracy of image classification was relatively high, showing a clear association between land use-land cover changes and temperature, NDBI, and NDVI.

Forest fire monitoring using spatial-statistical and Geo-spatial analysis of factors determining forest fire in Margalla Hills, Islamabad, Pakistan

Aqil Tariq et al.

Summary: This study aims to analyze the spatial patterns of forest fire danger in Margalla Hills, Islamabad, Pakistan. The research focused on burnt areas, using Landsat data to classify the severity of forest fires based on various parameters. The results showed a correlation between forest density, distance to roads, maximum temperature, wind speed, and fire severity levels. Prediction maps indicated a distribution of forests in different severity levels.

Habitat suitability modeling based on remote sensing to realize time synchronization of species and environmental variables

Da-Ju Wang et al.

Summary: Remote sensing (RS) is an effective method for capturing real-world data on a large scale. This study aimed to synchronize species and environmental variables, and extract variables related to species growth for habitat suitability modeling. The results indicated that environmental variables from RS improved prediction accuracy, providing important reference for species management.
