Changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services in terrestrial systems are being driven by the synergistic interactions between the loss of native vegetation and land-use intensification.
In this paper, we present a depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) technique for three-dimensional television (3DTV) service over terrestrial-digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB).
Wetland and water body was divided into two categories, and residential land and desert were united as barren land; (2) equivalent value per unit area of ecosystem services for terrestrial ecosystem in China (Xie et al. 2003); (3) 1-km2 resolution of NOAA/AVHRR NDVI index around China in 1998, which was obtained from the Thematic Database for Human-Earth System (http://www.data.ac.cn).
