Fragmentation or the breakdown of landholdings to smaller parcels has an adverse impact on crop yields and productivity because of its uneconomic operational sizes. This comprehensive review reflects the insights into the complex dynamics of small landholding (SLs) in India by leveraging earth observation (EO) based sensing technology through synth...

COVID-19 cases surged in late 2019, leading to worldwide lockdowns that closed non-essential places and activities, industries, and businesses to halt the spread of the virus. Many studies suggested improved air quality during lockdowns. However, these findings often focused on core city limits and did not account for heavy pollution sources outsid...

Urbanization is advancing rapidly, covering less than 2% of Earth's surface yet profoundly influencing global environments and experiencing disproportionate impacts from extreme weather events. Effective urban management and planning require high-resolution, temporally consistent datasets that capture the complexity of urban growth and dynamics. Th...

Steep rise in COVID-19 cases globally at the end of 2019 eventually imposed world-wide restrictions (also known as lockdowns) that forced people to shut down all non-essential public places and activities, industrial operations, and businesses to break the chain of viral transmission. Despite growing scientific literature claiming that there was si...

High-resolution Forest biophysical parameter estimation is crucial to understand forest structural and functional variability. Moreover, mapping high-resolution biophysical products is significant to capture accurate forest carbon fluxes and understand seasonal variability. The existing biophysical products are coarse in spatial resolution and unab...

A proper geomorphic study of a region can be useful in understanding past and present environmental circumstances and analyzing potential environmental risks. Careful analysis of morphodynamic processes and existing diagnostic landforms reveal several aspects about the origin, characteristics and possible pattern of morpho-climatic interactions on...

The increasing demand for tropical timber from natural forests has reduced the population sizes of native species such as Cedrela spp. because of their high economic value. To prevent the decline of population sizes of the species, all Cedrela species have been incorporated into Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Spe...

Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) is the most effective and well-acknowledged drought severity index that particularly determines the long-term drought conditions over the forest and other terrestrial ecosystems. However, the sensitivity of PDSI has not been explored yet based on productivity (i.e. GPP), biophysical parameters (i.e. biomass-LAI,...

Bolpur-Santiniketan is a small town of Birbhum District, West Bengal with a total population of 80,210 only (census, 2011). The existing road infrastructure here may hold the regular traffic but isn’t capable of holding a huge rush of traffic at all. The problem arises during two festivals i.e. Basantotsav and Poush Mela when huge number of people...

Potentiality of a terrain should not be judged by it’s general characteristics. The rough ‘unuseful’ lateritic terrain can also provide different alternative options for development in different regions. Due to extensive gully erosion, an unique topography with various geomorphic landforms ie- rills, gullies, escarpment, valleys, isolated hillocks...
