We aimed at demonstrating microclimatic regulation and pollutant removal as especially relevant ecosystem services when considering the tourism vocation of the Alpine regions. A study was realized along an altitudinal gradient (900–1600 m a.s.l.) in Trentino, northern Italy, an area with high touristic presence (ca. 9.3 million overnight stays in summer 2021). Nitrogen dioxide (NO2, µg m−3), ozone (O3, µg m−3) concentrations, air temperature (T, °C), and relative humidity (RH, %) were simultaneously measured in three open-field sites (OF) and below-canopy Norway spruce forest stands (FO) during the period 23 May–7 August 2013. The temperature–humidity index (THI) was calculated. We found a distinct mitigating effect of forest on T, with lower maximum (−30.6%) and higher minimum values (+6.3%) in FO than in OF. THI supported a higher comfort sensation in FO than in OF, especially in the central part of the day. NO2 concentrations did not differ between OF and FO; ozone concentrations were lower in FO than OF. This study confirms the role of forests in providing several ecosystem services beneficial for forest users, especially relevant for promoting nature-based tourism in the Alpine region.

With the growing popularity of deep learning, deep learning-based approaches have shown great potential in LCZ mapping. Three major cities in China are selected as the study areas. In this study, we design a deep convolutional neural network architecture, named Residual combined Squeeze-and-Excitation and Non-local Network (RSNNet), that consists of the Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) block and non-local block to classify LCZ using freely available Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery. Overall Accuracy (OA) of 0.9202, 0.9524 and 0.9004 for three selected cities are obtained by applying RSNNet and training data of individual city, and OA of 0.9328 is obtained by training RSNNet with data from all three cities. RSNNet outperforms other popular Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in terms of LCZ mapping accuracy. We further design a series of experiments to investigate the effect of different characteristics of Sentinel-1 SAR data on the performance of RSNNet in LCZ mapping. The results suggest that the combination of SAR and multispectral data can improve the accuracy of LCZ classification. The proposed RSNNet achieves an OA of 0.9425 when integrating the three decomposed components with Sentinel-2 multispectral images, 2.44% higher than using Sentinel-2 images alone.

Forest tree species classification based on Sentinel-2 images and auxiliary data / Haotian You in Forests, vol 13 n° 9 (september 2022)  

Public [article]  inForests > vol 13 n° 9 (september 2022) . - n° 1416 Titre : Forest tree species classification based on Sentinel-2 images and auxiliary data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Haotian You, Auteur ; Yuanwei Huang, Auteur ; Zhigang Qin, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 1416 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image optique [Termes IGN] classification et arbre de régression [Termes IGN] classification par forêts d'arbres décisionnels [Termes IGN] classification par séparateurs à vaste marge [Termes IGN] dioxyde d'azote [Termes IGN] distribution spatiale [Termes IGN] Extreme Gradient Machine [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes IGN] phénologie [Termes IGN] précipitation [Termes IGN] réflectance spectrale [Termes IGN] température de l'air [Termes IGN] texture du sol [Termes IGN] topographie locale Résumé : (auteur) Most research on forest tree species classification based on optical image data uses information such as spectral reflectance, vegetation index, texture, and phenology data. However, owing to the limited spectral resolution of multispectral images and the high cost of hyperspectral data, there is room for improvement in the classification of tree species in large areas based on optical images. The combined application of multispectral images and other auxiliary data can provide a new method for improving tree species classification accuracy. Hence, Sentinel-2 images were used to extract spectral reflectance, spectral index, texture, and phenological information. Data for topography, precipitation, air temperature, ultraviolet aerosol index, NO2 concentration, and other variables were included as auxiliary data. Models for forest tree species classification were constructed through feature combination and feature optimization using the random forest (RF), gradient tree boost (GTB), support vector machine (SVM), and classification and regression tree (CART) algorithms. The classification results of 16 feature combinations with the 4 classification methods were compared, and the contributions of different features to the classification models of forest tree species were evaluated. Finally, the optimal classification model was selected to identify the spatial distribution of forest tree species in the study area. The model based on feature optimization gave the best results among the 16 feature combination models. The overall accuracy and kappa coefficient were increased by 18% and 0.21, respectively, compared with the spectral classification model, and by 17% and 0.20, respectively, compared with the spectral and spectral index classification model. By analyzing the feature optimization model, it was found that terrain, ultraviolet aerosol index, and phenological information ranked as the top three features in terms of importance. Although the importance of spectral reflectance and spectral index features was lower, the number of feature variables accounted for a large proportion of the total. The importance of commonly used texture features was limited, and these features were not present in the feature optimization model. The RF algorithm had the highest classification accuracy, with an overall accuracy of 82.69% and a kappa coefficient of 0.80, among the four classification algorithms. The results of GTB were close to those of RF, and the difference in overall classification accuracy was only 0.14%. However, the results of the SVM and CART algorithms were relatively weaker, with overall classification accuracies of about 70%. It can be concluded that the combined application of Sentinel-2 images and auxiliary data can improve forest tree species classification accuracy. The model based on feature optimization achieved the highest classification accuracy among the 16 feature combination models. The spectral reflectance and spectral index data extracted from optical images are useful for tree species classification, but the effect of texture features was very limited. Auxiliary data, such as topographic features, ultraviolet aerosol index, phenological features, NO2 concentration features, topographic diversity features, precipitation features, temperature features, and multi-scale topographic location index data, can effectively improve forest tree species classification accuracy. The RF algorithm had the highest accuracy, and it can be used for tree species classification space distribution identification. The combined application of Sentinel-2 images and auxiliary data can improve classification accuracy, but the highest accuracy of the model was only 82.69%, which leaves room for improvement. Thus, more effective auxiliary data and the vertical structural parameters extracted from satellite LiDAR can be combined with multispectral images to improve forest tree species classification accuracy in future research.

GIS and machine learning for analysing influencing factors of bushfires using 40-year spatio-temporal bushfire data / Wanqin He in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 11 n° 6 (June 2022)

An in-depth understanding of the combined mechanisms of factors affecting the occurrence and spread of bushfires is needed to support the development of effective fire prevention plans and fire suppression measures and aid planning for geographic, ecological maintenance and urban emergency management. This study aimed to explore how bushfires, meteorological variability and other natural factors have interacted over the past 40 years in NSW Australia and how these influencing factors synergistically drive bushfires. The CSIRO’s Spark toolkit has been used to simulate bushfire burning spread over 24 h. The study uses NSW wildfire data from 1981–2020, combined with meteorological factors (temperature, precipitation, wind speed), vegetation data (NDVI data, vegetation type) and topography (slope, soil moisture) data to analyse the relationship between bushfires and influencing factors quantitatively. Machine learning-random forest regression was then used to determine the differences in the influence of bushfire factors on the incidence and burn scale of bushfires. Finally, the data on each influence factor was imported into Spark, and the results of the random forest model were used to set different influence weights in Spark to visualise the spread of bushfires burning over 24 h in four hotspot regions of bushfire in NSW. Wind speed, air temperature and soil moisture were found to have the most significant influence on the spread of bushfires, with the combined contribution of these three factors exceeding 60%, determining the spread of bushfires and the scale of burning. Precipitation and vegetation showed a greater influence on the annual frequency of bushfires. In addition, burn simulations show that wind direction influences the main direction of fire spread, whereas the shape of the flame front is mainly due to the influence of land classification. Besides, the simulation results from Spark could predict the temporal and spatial spread of fire, which is a potential decision aid for fireproofing agencies. The results of this study can inform how fire agencies can better understand fire occurrence mechanisms and use bushfire prediction and simulation techniques to support both their operational (short-term) and strategic (long-term) fire management responses and policies.
