Article Synopsis
  • Terrestrial ecosystems are heavily impacted by human activities, which disrupt essential nitrogen cycling and the services these ecosystems provide.
  • This study looked at how different land uses affect nitrogen processes in arable, grassland, and forest ecosystems in the lower Himalayas of Pakistan.
  • Results showed that arable lands have the highest nitrification and denitrification rates, leading to increased emissions of nitrous oxide, emphasizing the need for better land management practices to mitigate nitrogen loss.

Land Surface Temperature (LST) affects exchange of energy between earth surface and atmosphere which is important for studying environmental changes. However, research on the relationship between LST, Land Use Land Cover (LULC), and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) with topographic elements in the lower Himalayan region has not been done. Therefore, the present study explored the relationship between LST and NDVI, and LULC types with topographic elements in the lower Himalayan region of Pakistan.
