Tóm tắt

Cropland abandonment is a common type of land-use change across the globe and can be caused by a range of social, economic, and environmental factors. Cropland abandonment has wide-ranging effects on the environment, especially on biodiversity and carbon storage. Despite the importance of cropland monitoring, cropland abandonment is difficult to map and not routinely monitored. In this project, we propose to investigate cropland abandonment using remote sensing technique for the application of carbon storage in Eurasia, where experienced extensive cropland abandonment because of drastic social-economic changes since the 1990s.
