The Sentinel-2A satellite having embedded advantage of red edge spectral bands offers multispectral imageries with improved spatial,spectral and temporal resolutions as compared to the other contemporary satellites providing medium resolution data. Our study was aimed at exploring the potential of Sentinel-2A imagery to estimate Above Ground Biomass (AGB) of Subtropical Pine Forest in Pakistan administered Kashmir. We developed an AGB predictive model using field inventory and Sentinel 2A based spectral and textural parameters along with topographic features derived from ALOS Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Field inventory data was collected from 108 randomly distributed plots(0.1 ha each) across the study area. The stepwise linear regression method was employed to investigate the potential relationship between field data and corresponding satellite data. Biomass and carbon mapping of the study area was carried out through established AGB estimation model with R (0.86), R2(0.74), adjusted R2 (0.72) and RMSE value of 33 t/ha.Our results showed that first order textures (mean,standard deviation and variance) significantly contributed in AGB predictive modeling while only one spectral band ratio made contribution from spectral domain. Our study leads to the conclusion that Sentinel-2A optical data is a potential source for AGB estimation in subtropical pine forest of the area of interest with added benefit of its free of cost availability, higher quality data and long-term continuity that can be utilized for biomass carbon distribution mapping in the resource constraint study area for sustainable forest management.

摘要:研究农村初中数学学困生的成因与对策的目的在于了解引发学生数学学习困难的主客观原则,由此找到改进教学手段、提高学生学习水平的途径。本文通过分析农村初中数学学困生学习概况,阐释了学困生的成因,并就解决问题提出了若干解决对策。  关键字:农村;初中数学;学困生;成因;对策  对学困生的定义并非是指学生的智力发育存在先天的缺陷,而是那些拥有与其他学生相当的智力水平,但学习情况却因种种原因落后于平均水
