Using Satellite-derived Maps in Rangeland Management
Rangeland management has used Landsat imagery for 50 years. Satellite imagery can provide a more comprehensive view of native pastures and prairies that cover swaths of Western America.
A new paper in Elsevier provides four guiding principles for ranges:
1. Use maps within a decision-making framework

Landsat 9 Image of Western Guinea-Bissau
The Geba River on the west coast of Guinea-Bissau is seen in this natural color Landsat 9 image from February 8, 2022. Silt carried by the river into the Atlantic Ocean creates intricate patterns as it moves around the Bissagos (or Bijagós) Islands. The country’s capital, Bissau, can be seen on the north side of the estuary and appears as light brown.

How Do You Landsat in the Brazil Cerrado
The South American Savannas host several species, including ocelots and nutria rats. The soil is rich soil results in plantations of bananas, coffee, and other crops. Areas are cleared out for the fertile humus. The tropical Brazilian Cerrado is the largest savanna on the continent and the most threated biome from agricultural expansion.

How Do You Landsat from a Delta in China
With rapidly rising sea levels and drastically declining river discharge, the Changjiang Delta, near Shanghai, China, is continually evolving. Using Landsat imagery, researchers focused on tidal level fluctuations to help understand the changes to the largest uninhabited island in the estuary, Jiuduansha island.
