Remotely sensing the spatial and temporal land cover changes in Eastern Mau forest reserve and Lake Nakuru drainage basin, Kenya
TL;DR: In this paper, a study aimed at characterizing land cover dynamics for four decades in Eastern Mau forest and Lake Nakuru basin, Kenya, the authors identified and mapped the major land cover types in 1973, 1985, 2000 and 2011, and determined the magnitude, rates and nature of the land cover changes that had occurred between these dates.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify three basic properties of monitoring activities: spatial aspect (explicitly spatial vs. non-spatial), documentation of spatial variation (field mapping vs. remote sensing) and coverage of habitats (all habitats or specific habitats in an area), and six classes of monitoring schemes based on these properties.

Evaluation and Comparison of the IRS-P6 and the Landsat Sensors
TL;DR: The viability of data from these next-generation imagers for use in creating three National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) products were consistent with previous studies but had slightly lower overall accuracies as compared to data from the Landsat sensors.

Estimation of managed loblolly pine stand age and density with Landsat ETM+ data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the relationship between Landsat ETM+ reflectance values and commercially managed loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) stand characteristics in east Texas.
