The mangroves and associated ecosystems are one of the most fertile ecosystems of the earth. \u003cb\u003eSundarbans Mangrove Systems: A Geo-Informatics Approach\u003c\/b\u003e portrays different perspectives of studying Sundarbans and mangroves using geospatial analysis. This book highlights the major issues with the Sundarbans mangrove forest, its future conservation strategies and its ecological importance using geo-informatics technology. It explains the usage of remote sensing data for providing information about the present state of mangroves and their tropic status, including assessment in terms of extent, density of community, condition, diversity, identifying potential habitats and heterogeneity. Furthermore, it discusses the use of hyperspectral remote sensing data for species level classification of mangroves, community zonation for biodiversity assessment and for preparing management plans for conservation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eExclusively covers the ecological state of Sundarbans (mangrove systems) through geo-informatic studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes the application of a combination of geomorphological, biogeochemical and remote sensing methods to the analysis of temporal changes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes environmental factors affecting the health and decline of mangroves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers biodiversity and ecological controls in mangroves ecosystems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses a remote sensing approach for tropical forested island and mangroves mapping\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in environmental sciences, ecology, marine sciences, biology, geosciences and GIS\/remote sensing areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anirban Mukhopadhyay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367538814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367538811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Anirban Mukhopadhyay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136016625919,"sku":"9780367538811","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c149559f-3c63-47f1-b876-48333788807b.jpg?v=1770159953","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sundarbans-mangrove-systems-anirban-mukhopadhyay-9780367538811","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
