The Trajectories, Trends, and Opportunities for Assessing Urban Ecosystem Services: A Systematic Review of Geospatial Methods

Muhammad Zaman-ul-Haq et al.

Summary: This study utilized bibliometric analysis to explore the trends of remote sensing techniques in urban ecosystem services research. The results showed that approximately 30% of the selected articles used remote sensing data for assessment purposes. The majority of studies were conducted in economically developed and industrialized countries, but researchers from both developed and developing countries preferred open software and free data sources. In addition, methodologies based on land use and cover and assessments of regulating services were more commonly pursued.

Application of the Random Forest Classifier to Map Irrigated Areas Using Google Earth Engine

James Magidi et al.

Summary: This study utilized random forest algorithm on Google Earth Engine platform to process and classify irrigated areas in Mpumalanga Province, Africa using NDVI to differentiate between irrigated and rainfed areas. Assessment of irrigated areas in 2019 and 2020, along with the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on agriculture, helped in evaluating changes in irrigated areas in smallholder farming areas.

Urban growth sustainability of Islamabad, Pakistan, over the last 3 decades: a perspective based on object-based backdating change detection

Yong Liu et al.

Summary: The study analyzed urban growth and sustainable development in the capital of Pakistan, Islamabad, over the past 30 years using remote sensing data. It found significant increases in impervious surface cover and urban area, and identified five key factors influencing urban growth: population, transportation systems, master planning, industrial and real estate development, and neighbor urban effect. The research also highlighted the growth of slums in correlation with urban area and population increase, as well as the deteriorative trend of environmental condition indicated by a decrease in normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in woodland areas.
