| Abstract | "Volume 1: Handbook on Spatio-Temporal Monitoring of Forests and Climate is aimed to describe the recent progress and developments of geospatial technologies (Remote Sensing and GIS) for assessing, monitoring and managing fragile Himalayan ecosystems and its sustainability under climate change. It is a collective research contribution from renowned researchers and academicians working in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) mountain range. The Himalayas ecosystems have been facing substantial transformation due to severe environmental conditions, land transformation, forest degradation and fragmentation. The authors utilized satellite datasets and algorithms to discuss the intricacy of Land use Land cover change, forest and agricultural ecosystems, canopy height estimation, above-ground biomass, wildfires, carbon sequestration, and landscape restoration. Furthermore, the potential impacts of climate change on ecosystems, biodiversity and future food and nutritional security are also addressed including the impact on the livelihood of people of the Himalayas. This comprehensive Handbook explains the advanced geospatial technologies for mapping and management of natural resources of the Himalayas"-- Provided by publisher. |
| Abstract | "Volume 2: With advanced remote sensing and GIS tools, in-depth analyses, and interdisciplinary approaches, this volume studies glacier dynamics and snow cover variabilities, river basins, their hydrology, ecology, and flooding. Discusses also urban ecosystem, particulates and their deposition in the Himalayas, and the impact of climate change"-- Provided by publisher. |
