  • Tropical forests have variety of biodiversity values, which provide invaluable services to the living being on earth. In the recent years, tropical forests are regarded as valuable global resources that act as sink for carbon dioxide in order to mitigate global climatic change. In many parts of the world, tropical forests are being rapidly cleared by various means. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is concentrated in the upper 12 inches of the soil. So it is readily depleted owing to the degradation activities. In the present study, it was aimed to assess the magnitude of disturbance in the availability of SOC in a semi- evergreen forest, situated in the Eastern Ghats of Tamil Nadu, India. The forest density of this region was mapped with QuickBird satellite data. Intensive field soil sampling and floristic study were conducted to estimate the SOC status in different density classes and to identify the species availability. The SOC density ranged from 274.06 t/ha to 147.84 t/ha in the very dense and degraded semi-evergreen forest respectively. The SOC content was also varied from 3.70 to 1.83 % in the very dense semi-evergreen and medium semi-evergreen forests respectively. The species composition in different density classes was also varied considerably. As a result of this study, it was identified that the disturbance to forests by various means not only affect the density of forests but also affect the below ground SOC status proportionately.

  • With the negative influences and damage from Asian dust increasing, it's getting important to investigate the climate and soil condition of the source region of Asian dust. There is a high possibility that the desertification and the drastic decrease of plants in China and Mongolia make worse the situation (bad effects of Asian Dust). To detect the movement of Asian dust caused by air circulation, we need to watch the state of the source region to get useful information for the prevention of the dust pollution, and to predict what part of China will become the source region. Therefore, using TOMS aerosol index data, NCEP reanalysis data that is Remote Sensing data from 1981 to 2000 (except 1993~1996, 4 years), for 16 years, examined the relation between the dust occurrence and weather elements. Dust occurrence appeared much in spring season from March to May in study areas. It had a dry climate during that season as follows : relative humidity about 20~40%, temperature about -5~5$^{\circ}C$, precipitation about 33-180 mm, wind speed about 4-10 ms-1. Dust occurrence and weather element annual change in study areas decreased gradually till 1990, but in Gobi desert the incidence of dust occurrence increased since 1997. As a result, found out that the more the precipitation, the less dust occurrence, because the precipitation and surface wind speed had a direct influence on the soil of the source region of dust.

  • Soil degradation has become a major worldwide environmental problem, particularly in arid and semi-arid climate zones due to irregular rainfall and the intensity of storms that frequently generate heavy flooding. The main objective of this study is the use of geographic information system and remote sensing techniques to quantify and to map the soil losses in the Wadi Saida watershed (624 ㎢) through the revised universal soil loss equation model and a proposed model based on the surface erosive runoff. The results Analysis revealed that the Wadi Saida watershed showed moderate to moderately high soil loss, between 0 and 1000 t/㎢/year. In the northern part of the basin in the region of Sidi Boubkeur and the mountains of Daia; which are characterized by steep slopes, values can reach up to 3000 t/㎢/year. The two models in comparison showed a good correlation with R = 0.95 and RMSE = 0.43; the use of the erosive surface runoff parameter is effective to estimate the rate of soil loss in the watersheds. The problem of soil erosion requires serious interventions, particularly in basins with disturbances and aggressive climatic parameters. Good agricultural practices and forest preservation areas play an important role in soil conservation.

  • 토양수분은 수문순환에 핵심적인 역할을 하는 대표적인 인자로써 대기와 지표 사이의 상호작용에 관여하며, 농업, 수자원, 대기 등의 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 한반도 영역의 위성기반 토양수분의 적용성 및 불확실성 분석을 위하여 Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2), Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT), European SpaceAgency Climate Change Initiative (ESACCI) 데이터가 사용되었다. 상기 데이터를 사용한 Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) Matching과 Triple collocation (TC) 분석을 수행하여 위성 토양수분 데이터 보정 및 불확실성에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 보정 전의 인공위성 기반 토양수분자료를 Automated Agriculture Observing System (AAOS) 관측지점과 비교한 결과, ESACCI와 ASCAT자료는 AAOS의 경향을 잘 반영하였다. 그에 비해 AMSR2 위성 자료는 동결기간에 과대 산정되었다. CDF Matching을 이용하여 인공위성 토양수분 자료를 보정한 결과, 보정 전보다 오차 및 상관성이 개선되었다. 마지막으로, TC 방법을 이용하여 토양수분 자료의 불확실성 분석을 실시하였다. CDF Matching 보정을 실시한 인공위성 토양수분의 불확실성이 동결과 융해 기간에서 확연하게 개선되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 한반도에서는 보정을 실시하였을 때, AMSR2 토양수분 자료보다 ASCAT과 ESACCI를 활용하는 것이 보다 정확한 토양수분 결과를 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 나타났다.

  • The radar backscatter from various earth surfaces is sensitive to the frequency of the incident wave. This study examined the radar sensitivities for surface parameters such as soil moisture content and surface roughness of both bare and vegetated surfaces at X-band. Because L-band frequencies are often used for sensing the surface parameters, the sensitivities of X-band are also compared with those of the L-band. The sensitivities of the X-band radar backscatter were examined with respect to soil moisture content and surface roughness of rough bare soil surfaces. These sensitivities were also examined using the same parameters for vegetated surfaces for various vegetation densities and incidence angles. Use of the X-band radar for soil moisture detection was as effective as L-band radar for bare soil surfaces. For vegetated surfaces, the soil moisture could be detected using an X-band radar at lower incidence angles, where the upper limit of the incidence angles was dependent on vegetation density.

  • In this paper, a novel fibrous material known as axially reinforced braided composite rods (BCRs) have been developed for reinforcement of soils. These innovative materials consist of an axial reinforcement system, comprised of longitudinally oriented core fibres, which is responsible for mechanical performance and, a braided cover, which gives a ribbed surface texture for better interfacial interactions with soils. BCRs were produced using both thermosetting (unsaturated polyester) and thermoplastic (polypropylene) matrices and synthetic (carbon, glass, HT polyethylene), as well as natural (sisal) core fibres. BCRs were characterized for tensile properties and the influence of core fibres was studied. Moreover, BCRs containing carbon fibre in the core composition were characterized for piezoresistivity and strain sensing properties under flexural deformation. According to the experimental results, the developed braided composites showed tailorable and wide range of mechanical properties, depending on the core fibres and exhibited very good strain sensing behavior.

  • This paper describes the study methods of identifying forest vegetation types, based on this study, forest vegetation classification method based on vegetation index is proposed. According to reflectance data of vegetation canopy and soil line equation NIR=1.506R+0.0076 in Jingyuetan, Changchun, China, many vegetation index are calculated and analyzed. The relationships between vegetation index and vegetation types are that PVI identifies broadleaf forest and conifer forest the most easily, the next is TSAVI and MSAVI, but their calculation is complex. RVI values of different conifer trees vary obviously, so RVI can classify conifer trees. In a word, combination of PVI and RVI is evaluated to classify different vegetation types.
