Extractions: This news comes on the day I happened to meet a local carpenter who was complaining about the lack of good timber these days. No good pointing out that eighty percent of our woodlands have also disappeared since 1900. In fact, since 1700 (preindustrial revolution) when most the country was covered in trees - including Cornwall, there is less than ten percent of the original tree cover left.

Extractions: Changes in Land Use Objectives: Activities: Outline Ecosystem dynamics An ecosystem is a complex, self-regulating association of living plants and animals and their nonliving physical environment. Source of image: Forest Ecosystem Dynamics (FED) Project Changes in the patterns of land use and the monitoring of ecosystem has largely been accomplished on a global scale by analyzing data from the LANDSAT satellites. With the launch of the Landsat 1 in 1972, the Landsat program is the longest-running program of remote-sensing from space. It images the entire earth once in 16 days. The Landsat satellite carries a multispectral scanner (MSS) and starting with Landsat-4 in 1982, also a Thematic Mapper (TM). MSS and TM are instruments that measure electromagnetic radiation from the sun reflecting off the Earth. MSS data has a spatial resolution of about 80 m x 80 m, and measures the intensity of reflected light in four bands: green light, red light and two different wavelength bands of infrared. TM has more bands and a 30 m x 30 m resolution.

Extractions: functions of various factors. Equations can be obtained from experimental data. 2. Distributed delays. Age and time are equivalent in the original Leslie model, and thus, all organisms develop synchronously with constant rate. However, development rate of invertebrates and plants is not constant: it depends on temperature and may vary among individuals. Individual variation of development rates is called "distributed delay" because there is a distribution of time when organisms reach maturity. Transition matrix can be modified to incorporate these features. This matrix has non-zero diagonal elements, and thus, some proportion of organisms remain in the same age class when time increases. As a result, development goes slower than it would be in the original Leslie model. The rate of development can be adjusted by changing relative values of diagonal and sub-diagonal elements This matrix allows organisms to leap over several age intervals in one time step. As a result, ...

Extractions: Finger Lakes Area, New York: Landsat 1 multispectral scanner (MSS) image from 1976 shows upper New York State below Lake Ontario. (USGS) Multispectral scanning began in the 1970's with the launching of Landsat to monitor global land masses, natural resources and changes to vegetation, soil erosion, glaciers, deforestation, volcanoes, tectonic plate shifts and urban/rural development. These satellites use two primary instruments: MSS (Multispectral Scanner System) and a more improved version, TM (Thematic Mapper). The MSS provides visible and infrared imagery at 80-meter resolution in four bandwidths, while the TM has a higher resolution of 20-30 meter in seven spectral bandwidths. Multispectral scanning imagery is used in these broad discipline areas: agriculture, water resources, mineral resources, forestry, land use, marine resources and environmental science. NASA's Landsat Program includes a system summary (Landsat 1-7), program news and chronology of past events. This site also has an image gallery, government policies and legislation on Landsat, and links to other government organizations that are involved with satellite studies. Landsat 4, launched in 1982, was the first satellite to use TM.

Extractions: Evidence to the Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics of the US House of Representatives' Committee on Science Topic: Commercial Remote Sensing. Presented by John R. Townshend, University of Maryland College Park The testimony presented to the Sub-Committee relates to my views on the relevance of commercial remote sensing activities to the scientific community. Applications of remote sensing imagery to improve life on Earth. Remote sensing provides an increasingly important source of information about the Earth System and human activities within it. Satellite-based instruments have become more and more capable of detecting and monitoring properties of this system with increasing reliability. Moreover as the record of observations becomes longer and longer, so we gain a better understanding of how the Earth System is changing. Potential applications of these data are numerous including contributions to global change research, to weather and climate forecasting and to the monitoring and development of renewable and non-renewable resources. Improved understanding of the complex functioning of the Earth System is not merely an academic exercise. Changes in the Earth System, involving for example climate change, could have profound implications for forest, range and crop productivity. At shorter time horizons inter-annual variability may impact plant productivity and hydrology. In the longer term there is the potential for near "permanent" shifts in agricultural regions and on forest health.
