Optical and radar remote sensing data for forest cover mapping in Peninsular Malaysia
This study aims to map forest cover in Peninsular Malaysia using satellite images as deforestation is of concern in the recent decades, and is an important environmental issue for the future too. The Carnegie Landsat Analysis System‐Lite (CLASlite) program was used in this study to detect forest cover in Peninsular Malaysia using Landsat satellite data. The results of the study show that CLASlite algorithm misclassified some oil palm, rubber and …
Assessment of biophysical properties of Royal Belum tropical forest, Malaysia
The Royal Belum forest reserve is one of the oldest tropical rainforests in the world and it is one of the largest virgin forest reserves in Malaysia. However, not many studies have been conducted to understand the ecology of this forest. In this study we estimated the aboveground biomass (AGB) of the forest using diameter at breast height (DBH) and height of trees ( h ), tree species and hemispherical photographs of tree canopy. We estimated AGB…
Tropical Savanna Ecosystems
The structure, composition, and distribution of savannas are largely controlled by water and nutrient availability, radiation, and temperature, which are then modified by disturbance (mainly fire) and longer‐term climate change. Changes in these environmental factors can modify the carbon balance of savanna ecosystems. Modeling studies have shown that future increases in CO 2 concentration, air temperature, and mean annual precipitation could pot…
Engaging indigenous people as geo-crowdsourcing sensors for ecotourism mapping via mobile data collection
Web 2.0 and the proliferation of built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) on smartphones have influenced the increase of geo-crowdsourcing activities in a number of different contexts. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of indigenous people’s use of mobile collection applications that are embedded in a smartphone to facilitate ecotourism asset mapping. In order to achieve this, field usability testing was conducted where structu…
