A methodology is described for mapping and monitoring the erosion of soil by water, using remote sensing techniques and the universal soil loss equation as the primary tools. Four aspects are covered: mapping baseline sheet and rill erosion, monitoring actual rill and gully erosion, estimating changes in potential sheet and rill erosion, and determining long-term trends. A successful field evaluation of the methodology was undertaken in a potato-growing area of New Brunswick. The implementation of the procedure using state-of-the-art microcomputer and satellite remote sensing technology is proposed. Key words: Soil erosion, remote sensing, geographic information systems

Arid Desert

The arid desert ecosystem is very fragile, and the change of its river discharge has a direct impact on irrigation and natural environment. River discharge attenuation coefficients is a key index to reveal the stability of desert river ecosystem. However, due to the harsh conditions in desert areas, it is difficult to establish a hydrological station to obtain data and calculate the attenuation coefficients, so it is urgent to develop new methods to master the attenuation coefficients of rivers. In this study, Taklamakan desert river was selected as the research area, and the river discharge of the desert river were estimated by combining low-altitude UAV and satellite remote sensing technology, so as to calculate the attenuation status of the river in its natural state. Combined with satellite remote sensing, the surface runoff in the desert reaches of the Hotan River from 1993 to 2017 were estimated. The results showed that the base of runoff attenuation in the lower reaches of the Hotan River is 40%. Coupled UAV and satellite remote sensing technology can provide technical support for the study of surface runoff in desert rivers within ungauged basins. Using UAV and satellite remote sensing can monitor surface runoff effectively providing important reference for river discharge monitoring in ungauged catchments.

Remote Sensing Techniques

Canadian forest management has had a long history of developing and implementing remote sensing technology and is a major user of remote sensing. Despite difficulties in developing and implementing new digital remote sensing techniques, several key developments in Canadian forest management and in remote sensing and computer technology make the development and implementation of new remote sensing techniques at this time feasible and appropriate. Integration of different remote sensing technologies, remote sensing data with other information sources through geographic information systems, and remote sensing interpretations with forest management systems and practices are critical. Current capabilities and new advances in remote sensing technology for forest survey (excluding forest damage assessment) are discussed. Satellite imagery is a cost-effective tool for broad forest type mapping. New satellite systems improve this capability, but their major impact will be in inventories for new clear-cut and burned areas. Advances in linear array imager technology and lidar systems may lead to development of an end to end inventory mapping system. This system would provide an alternative to aerial photography and current mapping methods and could revolutionize the way forests are inventoried. Imaging spectrometry is a new technology with applications in damage assessment, but as yet has limited potential for assisting in other forest surveys. Spaceborne imaging radar systems are being developed for the 1990s. These systems can produce imagery under cloudy conditions. Their major impact on forestry will be to provide an alternative to visible-infrared satellite data for inventory update.

First Time

Tobacco planting in Guizhou existed many problems such as exceed planting area, irregularity in quality, imprecise in crop estimate and kinds of disaster monitoring etc. In this article, to solve these problems some new schemes were given. The satellite remote sensing technology was applied on tobacco planting monitoring in Fuquan city of Guizhou province for the first time combining with ERDAS, GPS and ARCGIS in this paper. It put forward a specific implementation plan. And this plan could provide technical helps very well in planting area statistics, growth monitoring and yield estimation of tobacco in Fuquan city.
