Geospatial modeling to assess the past and future land use-land cover changes in the Brahmaputra Valley, NE India, for sustainable land resource management

Jatan Debnath et al.

Summary: Satellite remote sensing and GIS have had a revolutionary impact on mapping, quantifying, and assessing land surface processes, particularly in analyzing past and future land use-land cover changes. This study focuses on the Brahmaputra Valley in India and evaluates its land use-land cover changes using GIS technology. The study also predicts future changes using a simulation model. The results show a decrease in vegetation and water area and an increase in cultivated land, barren land, and built-up area. The study emphasizes the importance of implementing necessary land resource management strategies to avoid disastrous environmental consequences.

Modeling the sediment retention and ecosystem provisioning services in the Kashmir valley, India, Western Himalayas

Gowhar Meraj et al.

Summary: The sediment yield from mountainous alpine watersheds in the Himalayas impacts the region's flood vulnerability, clean drinking water supplies, and reservoir functioning. Natural vegetation plays a crucial role in sediment retention services, with most areas in the Kashmir valley having low sediment export values despite rugged topography. The study also highlights the importance of ecosystem service provisioning in flood risk reduction and emphasizes the need to consider ecosystem service benefits in policy decisions.

Integrated remote sensing and field-based approach to assess the temporal evolution and future projection of meanders: A case study on River Manu in North-Eastern India

Jatan Debnath et al.

Summary: This study focuses on researching the meander evolution and meander cutoffs of River Manu. The researchers used satellite imagery and GIS techniques to analyze the temporal changes and predict the progress of selected meanders. Field visits revealed that many cutoffs have undergone temporal changes and decreased in size, some even becoming agricultural fields. Analysis of the river's features and bank soil samples suggests the high probability of future cutoffs in almost all selected bends.

Analysis of floristic composition and plant community types in Kenech Natural Forest, Kaffa Zone, Ethiopia

Balemlay Sewale et al.

Summary: This study was conducted in Kenech Natural Forest in Southwest Ethiopia to assess vegetation composition and classify plant community types. The results revealed 108 species of vascular plants belonging to 33 families. The study highlighted the high species diversity in Kenech Forest. Future research could focus on the effects of soil seed bank and landscape change on plant composition.

Preliminary study on greywater treatment using water hyacinth

Rajnikant Prasad et al.

Summary: Greywater constitutes a significant part of domestic wastewater, and treating it through a natural system using water hyacinth as phytoremediation aquatic microphytes shows promising results. The study found that water hyacinth can effectively remove pollutants from greywater with a suggested harvesting interval of 15-20 days for optimal treatment performance.

Hydrological and landscape dynamics of floodplain wetlands of the Diara region, Eastern India

Kaustuv Mukherjee et al.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of landscape-specific approaches in wetland dynamics research, and identifies the challenges and trends in floodplain wetlands. Through multidimensional analysis, it was found that wetland dynamics are strongly influenced by the behavior of the River Ganga, and most wetlands are fragmented with few core areas.

Measuring nested frequency of plants from digital images with SampleFreq

Samuel E. Cox et al.

Summary: As our understanding of ecological systems grows, natural resource management increasingly relies on timely, accurate, and cost-effective monitoring data. Frequency data can be collected more quickly and with greater repeatability than density data, making it a valuable tool for monitoring invasive species across large areas. The SampleFreq software provides a high degree of accuracy, agreement with field data, and precision, making it a suitable alternative for monitoring plant frequency.

Floristic composition and structure of the Kibate Forest along environmental gradients in Wonchi, Southwestern Ethiopia

Misganaw Meragiaw et al.

Summary: The study in the Kibate Forest, Ethiopia revealed high species richness and importance in the vegetation community, but it is threatened by environmental factors and human activities, particularly overgrazing by livestock. Urgent management practices and conservation measures, such as prohibiting forest clearing and overgrazing, and planting indigenous trees through community participation, are necessary to protect the rich endemic species in the forest.

Comparative suitability of ordinary kriging and Inverse Distance Weighted interpolation for indicating intactness gradients on threatened savannah woodland and forest stands

C. Munyati et al.

Summary: Mapping tree density and woody species diversity in tropical forests and woodlands using ordinary kriging and Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation indicated that ordinary kriging is suitable for dense forests, while IDW interpolation is more appropriate for scattered tree savannah woodland. The study provides insights for environmental management interventions.
