“…Landsat multispectral data have also been used to distinguish wetland classes, such as emergent wetlands, forested wetlands, and ponds [ 18 , 19 ], as well as monitor the degradation or recovery of wetland vegetation [ 20 , 21 ]. Detecting a gain or loss of wetland extent requires distinguishing a change in class from natural variability in pixel condition.…”

Global trends in wetland degradation and loss have created an urgency to monitor wetland extent, as well as track the distribution and causes of wetland loss. Satellite imagery can be used to monitor wetlands over time, but few efforts have attempted to distinguish anthropogenic wetland loss from climate-driven variability in wetland extent. We present an approach to concurrently track land cover disturbance and inundation extent across the Mid-Atlantic region, United States, using the Landsat archive in Google Earth Engine. Disturbance was identified as a change in greenness, using a harmonic linear regression approach, or as a change in growing season brightness. Inundation extent was mapped using a modified version of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Dynamic Surface Water Extent (DSWE) algorithm. Annual (2015–2018) disturbance averaged 0.32% (1095 km2 year-1) of the study area per year and was most common in forested areas. While inundation extent showed substantial interannual variability, the co-occurrence of disturbance and declines in inundation extent represented a minority of both change types, totaling 109 km2 over the four-year period, and 186 km2, using the National Wetland Inventory dataset in place of the Landsat-derived inundation extent. When the annual products were evaluated with permitted wetland and stream fill points, 95% of the fill points were detected, with most found by the disturbance product (89%) and fewer found by the inundation decline product (25%). The results suggest that mapping inundation alone is unlikely to be adequate to find and track anthropogenic wetland loss. Alternatively, remotely tracking both disturbance and inundation can potentially focus efforts to protect, manage, and restore wetlands.

“…These increasing trends are partly due to the unavailability of reliable and comprehensive wetland maps, which limits implementation of conservation policies [ 11 ]. While internationally important wetlands have been widely mapped and monitored [ 3 , 12 ], most small and common wetlands are ignored in national maps [ 13 ]. Mapping these wetlands is critical due to their (i) complex fine-grained spatial pattern, (ii) scattered distribution, and (iii) fuzzy boundaries between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, which raise definitional issues [ 14 , 15 ].…”

“…While providing broad coverage, they have often been used for local wetland inventories [ 23 , 24 ], since national inventories are conducted by compiling local wetland maps, as in the United States [ 25 ]. However, this latter approach is time-consuming and expensive [ 14 ], and results in a non-comprehensive map of inconsistent quality due to the multiple definitions, scales, and methods used to produce local wetland maps [ 13 ]. In a context of increasing dissemination of field or remote sensing data, growing computational resources, and progress in artificial intelligence (AI), the development of operational and standardized approaches has recently been promoted [ 23 , 24 , 26 , 27 ].…”

“…Estudos em planícies de inundação são amplamente desenvolvidos tanto pela importância do ecossistema quanto para a agricultura e segurança contra inundações de áreas urbanas (Miller et al, 2012;Brown e Norris, 2018;Cao et al, 2018;Ling et al, 2018). No contexto da pedologia são áreas com lençol freático próximo a superfície, deixando o solo passível a saturação sazonal e consequente processos redutores (Kämpf e Curi, 2015).…”

Título AGRADECIMENTOS Agradeço primeiramente à Deus pelo sustento e por sempre me surpreender com sua bondade. Sem isso seria impossível caminhar. Agradeço imensamente à minha família, pois sempre me apoiaram e deram suporte em todos os momentos desse caminho. Agradeço em especial ao meu Pai, Nilton. Todo o seu esforço valeu a pena. Reconheço que se não fossem os seus finais de semana perdidos eu não estaria aqui. Serei eternamente grato e sei que está orgulhoso. Agradeço à minha mãe pelo amor e carinho. A condição de fazer esse curso era você estar bem e hoje está curada. O tempo passou mas a saudade ainda aperta. Obrigado por me incentivar sempre. Agradeço à meu irmão Luccas. Nunca se contente com pouco, seja o melhor que puder em tudo. Você vai mais longe do que pode imaginar. Agradeço à Ana, minha noiva, meu amor. Você deixou a caminhada mais leve e mais bela. Obrigado pelo apoio e compreensão nos tempos difíceis. Você é uma mulher incrível! Te amo! Agradeço à minha segunda família, Nivaldo e Hilda. Obrigado por me tratarem como filho e não pouparem esforços para ajudar quando preciso. Vocês também tornaram a caminhada muito mais facil. Viva o vinho! Agradeço aos novos irmãosTaís, Pedro e Sara. A caminhada está só começando. Agradeço aos amigos e a Igreja no Jupiá.
