Applying the Dempster–Shafer Fusion Theory to Combine Independent Land-Use Maps: A Case Study on the Mapping of Oil Palm Plantations in Sumatra, Indonesia Open
The remote sensing community benefits from new sensors and easier access to Earth Observation data to frequently released new land-cover maps. The propagation of such independent and heterogeneous products offers promising perspectives for…
Exceptional Cluster of Simultaneous Shallow Landslides in Rwanda: Context, Triggering Factors, and Potential Warnings Open
Rwanda, in eastern tropical Africa, is a small, densely populated country where climatic disasters are often the cause of considerable damage and deaths. Landslides are among the most frequent hazards, linked to the country’s peculiar conf…
Satellite Long-Term Monitoring of Wetland Ecosystem Functioning in Ramsar Sites for Their Sustainable Management Open
The long-term monitoring of wetland ecosystem functioning is critical because wetlands, which provide multiple services, can be affected by human activities and climate change. The aim of this study was to monitor wetland ecosystem functio…

Seasonal types in homogeneous rainfall regions of the Amazon basin Open
Due to its size and geographical features, different average annual rainfall regimes co‐exist in the Amazon basin, with distinct year‐to‐year variability dependent on regions within the basin. In this study, we define and explain the seaso…
The pivotal role of land cover around forest fragments for small‐mammal communities in a Neotropical savanna Open
While harboring the bulk of the planet's biodiversity, tropical ecosystems have experienced intense land conversion for agriculture. Studies examining the impacts of land‐use change on tropical biodiversity have primarily focused on forest…
Rainfall Extremes In Northern Chile: Climatology, Trends, And Ecosystem Responses In Salt Marsh Regions Open

Monitoring Complex Integrated Crop–Livestock Systems at Regional Scale in Brazil: A Big Earth Observation Data Approach Open
Due to different combinations of agriculture, livestock and forestry managed by rotation, succession and intercropping practices, integrated agriculture production systems such as integrated crop–livestock systems (iCL) constitute a very c…
How wildfires increase sensitivity of Amazon forests to droughts Open
The phenology of tropical forests is tightly related to climate conditions. In the Amazon, the seasonal greening of forests is conditioned by solar radiation and rainfall. Yet, increasing anthropogenic pressures (e.g. logging and wildfires…
Fires Drive Long-Term Environmental Degradation in the Amazon Basin Open
The Amazon Basin is undergoing extensive environmental degradation as a result of deforestation and the rising occurrence of fires. The degradation caused by fires is exacerbated by the occurrence of anomalously dry periods in the Amazon B…

Looking beyond forest cover: an analysis of landscape-scale predictors of forest degradation in the Brazilian Amazon Open
While forest degradation rates and extent exceed deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, less attention is given to the factors controlling its spatial distribution. No quantified correlation exists between changes of forest structure due t…
Mapping Center Pivot Irrigation Systems in the Southern Amazon from Sentinel-2 Images Open
Irrigation systems play an important role in agriculture. Center pivot irrigation systems are popular in many countries as they are labor-saving and water consumption efficient. Monitoring the distribution of center pivot irrigation system…

Assessment of Gridded CRU TS Data for Long-Term Climatic Water Balance Monitoring over the São Francisco Watershed, Brazil Open
Understanding the long-term behavior of rainfall and potential evapotranspiration (PET) over watersheds is crucial for the monitoring of hydrometeorological processes and climate change at the regional scale. The São Francisco watershed (S…
PVANET-HOUGH: DETECTION AND LOCATION OF CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION SYSTEMS FROM SENTINEL-2 IMAGES Open
Irrigation systems play an important role in agriculture. As being labor-saving and water consumption efficient, center pivot irrigation systems are popular in many countries. Monitoring the distribution of center pivot irrigation systems …
