9 Multi-scale satellite image analysis approach (MR) Data: Earth observation data, from MODIS VI (MOD13Q1), over one decade, 237 data sets Precipitation data, from Hydrological Data and Information System (HyDIS) Temperature data, from Berkeley Earth (2014) Population data, from HIC, UN OCHA, IRIN, UNEP, Sudan Tribune Methodology: Time series analysis, based on Seasonal Kendall (SK) test Results: Trend pattern showing trends in vegetation cover => significant land-cover changes Positive and negative trends => increase or decrease in vegetation Hotspots in areas with specific characteristics, i.e. near wadi banks or within the vicinity of settlements and IDP camps Indication for the influence of increasing population on natural resources => Correlation of these trend patterns with precipitation, temperature, and population data KRANZ, O., SACHS, A. & LANG, S.

15 The Context of Climatic Variability Chart 15
16 Population in Zalingei Chart 16
17 Discussion Why can decreases and increases in vegetation cover be detected at all scale? Generally, due a complex mix of interacting factors (e.g. human impact, groundwater availability as well as fluctuating climatic parameters) Positive trends: increasing fallow land indicating a recovery of vegetation in consequence of less pressure on shrubs and trees as well as grazing land intensification of agriculture and the recent greening of the Sahel Negative trends: decreasing precipitation and/or declining air temperatures (decreasing vegetation cover) dramatic increase in displaced persons in and around Zalingei until 2004 => increasing pressure on the limited natural resources Chart 17
18 Conclusions (1) the observed variability of climatic parameters is not strong enough for the pronounced land cover changes (2) decreases in vegetation cover are remarkably high in the vicinity of camps which is also underlined by other studies (3) the complete removal of trees and shrubs notably close to camps becomes obvious on the VHR images (4) if climatic parameters would be the main influencing factor one would expect a less pronounced decrease in vegetation cover around camps Thus, we assume that the climatic variability has significant impact but does not play the major role in the vicinity of camps Thank you for your attention!
