Exploring Multiscale Influence of Urban Growth on Landscape Patterns of Two Emerging Urban Centers in the Western Himalaya
TL;DR: In this article , the authors quantify land use/land cover and landscape pattern dynamics in response to urban growth and expansion in and around two emerging urban centers (Dharamsala and Pithoragarh, Western Himalaya) over the past two decades.

Quantifying historical changes in habitat availability for endangered species: use of pixel- and object-based remote sensing
TL;DR: This study indicates that habitat availability for broad-headed snakes has decreased considerably over 65 years due to increased shading from vegetation, and that objectbased image analysis is a promising tool for assessing habitat trends using historical photographs.

Longitudinal analysis of the road network development and land-cover change in Lop Buri province, Thailand, 1989-2006.
TL;DR: In this article, the extent of change in roads and land-cover change in Lop Buri between 1989-2006 is analyzed, and the relationships between distance to roads, land cover types, and land cover trajectories indicate that as the distances to roads increase, there are fewer changes in land cover change.

Investigating landscape pattern and its dynamics in Daqing, China
Junmei Tang,Le Wang,S. Zhang +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a traditional supervised classification was carried out on Daqing region using three sets of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery, respectively acquired in 1990, 1996, and 2000, and the classification results were transformed to polygon layers and input into geographic information system (GIS) software.

Roads in northern hardwood forests affect adjacent plant communities and soil chemistry in proportion to the maintained roadside area
TL;DR: The spatial extent of the transported materials from three road types was studied in forest soil and vegetative communities in Vermont, finding that the main effects from roads depended on the construction modifications required for a roadway and the distance that road pollutants travel.
