Deforestation and Degradation in Central and Southern African Savannas
Outline of proposal
– Integrated land degradation and deforestation detection system.–Southern African Development Community (SADC) region plus southern Zaire. –Move beyond classification of land cover to monitor the processes involved. –Socio-economic drivers of land cover change and biophysical factors employed to identify degradation processes.

Deforestation and Degradation in Central and Southern African Savannas
Outline of proposal (continued)– Radar and optical methods to measure biomass. –Visible, near infrared and thermal remote sensing to monitor primary production.– Soil moisture and runoff modeled with surface water and energy balance models driven with remotely sensed data. – Biophysical, socio-economic and cultural variables combined to create empirical models to identify leading indicators of environmental degradation. –Prototype degradation early warning system (DEWS) for southern and central Africa and for similar areas worldwide.

• Canopy respiration rates modeled exponentially using deviation from long-term air temperature (Ta)
• Ta inferred from TVX relationship, except where:– Slope is flat or positive: Ta = Ts-1stdev (or) Ts @ NDVI avg– R2 < 0.5; small sample size or variance of Ts or NDVI low– Other conditions apply / thresholds are exceeded
• (e.g., clouds, sparsely vegetated areas)• Ts calculated with new LUT approach
– Varies with emissivity (CERES), atmos water vapor– Coeffs specific to AVHRR instruments (NOAA-7 to 13)

• Soil moisture stressor a continuous variable rather than a switch, ramps in below 30% (by volume).
• DAO atmospheric water vapor rather than DT4-T5 & LOWTRAN (avoids non-unique solution)
• Combined, these provide solutions for >80% land surface• Methodology to compensate for AVHRR time drift devised.
– SSiB simulations stratified by cover type, latitude• ISLSCP forcing variables• Diurnal Ta curves interpolated 3-hourly
– LUT correction factors for overpass drift (~13:40 - 16:50 GMT)

– Comparisons with local degradation studies• Miombo network partners• Regional issues
– e.g. Gwembe Valley, Botswana rangelands, Copperbelt– Identify sources of site biophysical data
• Local scale modeling• Comparison with coarse resolution satellite inferences
– Explore integrated assessments• Multiple resolution data sets for participants
