Monitoring the response of vegetation dynamics to ecological engineering in the Mu Us Sandy Land of China from 1982 to 2014.

The Mu Us Sandy Land (MUSL) has undergone climate changes and shifts in human activities driven by a series of ecological restoration projects in recent decades. We analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation in this region using the satellite-retrieved normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from the Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies (GIMMS) and Moderate Resolution Imaging and Spectroradiometer (MODIS) datasets during the past 33 years. The results show that (1) the vegetation in 53.

Monitoring coal mine changes and their impact on landscape patterns in an alpine region: a case study of the Muli coal mine in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The Muli coal mine is the largest open-cast coal mine in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and it consists of two independent mining sites named Juhugeng and Jiangcang. It has received much attention due to the ecological problems caused by rapid expansion in recent years. The objective of this paper was to monitor the mining area and its surrounding land cover over the period 1976-2016 utilizing Landsat images, and the network structure of land cover changes was determined to visualize the relationships and pattern of the mining-induced land cover changes.

[Analysis and modeling of hyperspectral singularity in rice under Cd pollution].

In order to detect the Cd stress levels of rice growing in natural environment fast and accurately, based on wavelet transform technology in the visible light and near-infrared region (NIR), a method of identifying stress levels of rice under Cd pollution was explored. The hyperspectral data, biochemical parameters and heavy metals concentration in folium were collected for the rice growing in natural farmlands. Wavelet transform of hyperspectral reflectance (350-1 300 nm) was performed by using Daubechies 5 mother function and wavelet energy coefficients of spectral reflectance were extracted.
