Entropy cannot be used as a measure of economic scarcity and references to the second law of thermodynamics in … external sources and sinks of entropy and the resulting global entropy fluctuates around a constant. There is no separate … ‘anthropogenic’ thermodynamic entropy distinguishable from the ‘natural’ thermodynamic entropy. One can estimate the ‘anthropogenic …

Climate change mitigation can be achieved, according to many, by means of Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in the Tropics (REDD). Within the climate change policy debate we thus find discussions on how to reduce GHG emissions by designing appropriate REDD programmes...

Calculation of vegetation indices, especially Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), has become one of the most successful, popular and traditional attempts in biogeographical research methods, because NDVI has certain advantages over other vegetation indices or band combinations. The...
