Remote sensing techniques were used to determine erosion and erosion risk areas in a badlands landscape in the Ésera River catchment (Spanish Pyrenees). The size, sparse vegetation cover, and high erosion level in the badlands, enabled good visual and digital discrimination relative to other land covers and surfaces. The maximum likelihood algorithm was used for obtaining a spectral distance map to the bare soil signature characteristic of badlands on marls. The ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve analysis was applied to this map for obtaining an optimum classification of the badlands. Two alternative classification thresholds were set to determine erosion areas and areas at risk of erosion. Two classification performance statistics, the model's sensitivity and specificity, were calculated as a means of expressing the uncertainty–omission and commission errors–associated to both maps. Most erosion risk areas coincided with low vegetation cover surrounding the badland areas. | Descripción: | The definitive version of the publisher is available at: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/03418162 | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.catena.2008.11.005 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/11843 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.catena.2008.11.005 | ISSN: | 0341-8162 |
