Land Surface Temperature Responses to Land Use Land Cover Dynamics
Land use and land cover (LULC) changes induced by human or natural processes drive biogeochemistry of the Earth influencing the climate at global as well as regional scales. Drastic changes in the land cover with the decline in vegetation and water bodies due to anthropogenic activities enhances the heat emission from land surface and atmospheric temperatures Increased land surface temperature (LST) is mainly due to increase in concentrated human activities, paved land cover or barren lands. Due to complexity of landscapes the sampling was difficult to derive LST and environmental response relationships. T... view moreĀ»
