In this study, we compare the ability of single-date PRISMA (PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa), the hyperspectral satellite from the Italian Space Agency, with that of both single-date and multi-date Sentinel-2 (S2) and PlanetScope (PS) to detect and correctly classify various EUNIS habitat types distributed over a relatively small spatial extent (6000 ha) in a natural reserve in Central Italy. The case study deals with multiple levels of spectral similarity, as the dominant canopy species of the target forest habitat classes belong to the same genus (<em>Quercus</em> spp., both deciduous and evergreen species) as well as of different taxa (<em>Pinus</em> and <em>Fraxinus</em> spp.). We performed a pixel-based classification with the Random Forest algorithm using a set of 28 spectral indices computed on PRISMA bands, 22 on S2, and 12 on PS. A Canopy Height Model (CHM) was also used as an input variable for the classification. Our results showed that PRISMA considerably outperforms the two multispectral satellites in single-date classifications, with an overall accuracy of 84 % compared to PlanetScope's 69 % and Sentinel-2's 72 %. Regarding the comparison between multi-date multispectral and single-date hyperspectral, 10-fold cross-validation results revealed that S2 achieves an out-of-bag error rate of approximately 16 %, while PRISMA achieves 17 % and PS 19 %. This demonstrates that a combination of spectral indices calculated during the growing season can capture phenological or physiological differences among the target species, which consequently results in a significant improvement in the classification accuracy of the multispectral sensors. Ultimately, classification results from all three sensors were combined to create probability maps for each forest class, identifying areas classified with a higher degree of certainty by each satellite tested and potentially contributing to forest management by defining areas with varying conservation levels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142552292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This change has heightened the risk of rainfall-induced landslides, which are the most prevalent natural disasters in the mountainous regions of southwestern China. These events pose unpredictable and severe threats to the region, making it essential to forecast future rainfall trends and assess how landslide susceptibility will respond to these changes. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate and adapt to the changing rainfall patterns that influence landslides. This study focuses on Sichuan Province, China, and uses annual cumulative rainfall (ACR) as a key dynamic variable to create landslide susceptibility maps (LSMs). The goal is to explore the evolving relationship between rainfall and landslide susceptibility and use future rainfall projections to predict these risks. To achieve this, a historical landslide geospatial database was compiled across five temporal categories: 2000, 2001–2005, 2006–2010, 2011–2015, and 2016–2020. The extreme learning machine (ELM) was applied to generate LSMs for the years 2000 to2020, while an elasticity framework was used to assess how sensitive landslide susceptibility is to rainfall variations. To project future scenarios, a long short-term memory (LSTM) model was employed to project the ACR for 2030, using monthly rainfall data from 2000 to 2020. This projected ACR was then used to estimate future landslide susceptibility. Results showed a marked increase in high landslide susceptibility areas: 5.6 % by 2005, 0.3 % by 2010, 0.2 % by 2015, and 12.9 % by 2020, all relative to the year 2000. The elasticity analysis revealed that from 2000 to 2020, a 1 % change in rainfall would cause an average 1.35 % change in landslide susceptibility. Looking forward to 2030, the projected rise in ACR is expected to lead to a 2.44 % increase in areas of high landslide susceptibility. Multiple validation techniques were applied to ensure reliability and robustness of these findings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51024,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Informatics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142529247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the current study, we aimed to determine the impact of adding occurrence data from non-traditional databases to ENMs that were originally created using traditional databases with a group of comparatively understudied species, native Australian bees. We used the Maxent algorithm to model the potential environmental niches of eight species. We created three models for each species: 1) one consisting of only location data from museum specimen collection records from the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) (a traditional database), 2) one combining ALA and geo-tagged social media (Flickr) data, and 3) a model combining ALA and geo-tagged community science data from iNaturalist. This resulted in 24 different models. By comparing the models produced from each of the augmented data sets with the traditional species data set (ALA vs. ALA &amp; Flickr; ALA vs. ALA &amp; iNaturalist) we showed that there were significant differences, not only in predicted ranges, but also in the weighting of environmental variables used by the models to predict the environmental niche. Differences were more greatly influenced by the geographic location of the extra occurrences rather than the number of additional occurrence points.
