Dear YESS members,
I'm currently co-guest editing two special issues, one on ecosystem
services quantification and valuation, and one on advanced statistical
analysis of geographical data.
The first Special Issue aims at addressing important knowledge gaps and
state-of-the-art methods focusing on the quantification and valuation of
ecosystem services provided by different ecosystems. We encourage the
submission of studies on mapping and valuing the associations among
ecosystem services, as well as between natural capital and human
well-being, using contemporary tools that can be used to promote
sustainable strategies in land management and planning.
The second aims to capture the state-of-the-art theories and applications
of machine learning and advanced statistics used to analyze spatial data,
including big spatial data. The use of advanced methods is linked to
appropriate theoretical frameworks (properly acknowledging previous work in
the topic) and ethical/responsible use of Artificial Intelligence while
encouraging transparency and reproducibility. We particularly welcome
developments related but not limited to:
- Spatial statistics;
- Machine learning applications on spatial data;
- Machine learning for remote sensing applications;
- Landscape assessment and ecosystem modeling;
- Spatial dynamics of environmental processes;
- Assessing socio-ecological systems;
- Revealing drivers of ecosystem services, landscape
changes/transitions, etc.;
- Advanced machine learning algorithms/techniques for object-based image
analysis.
Find below further details for both special issues:

Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.
All the best,
