Integration of Multispectral Satellite data with Ensemble Machine Learning Models for Wetland Classification: a new Ramsar Site in Central India
Abstract: For biodiversity conservation, several wetlands in India have been classified as Ramsar sites, and Sirpur Lake is a recent addition to the list. The objective of this paper is to use Sentinel optical data with 10-meter resolution to prepare a robust and accurate classified map which will be crucial for further analysis. The data on thirteen spectral bands along with four essential spectral indices, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized …

A Review of Studies on Bacterial and Fungal Diversity in Wetland Ecosystems
Abstract: Wetlands provide habitat to plethora of bacteria and fungi. Though a large number of ecological studies are carried out on various wetlands all over the world, the aspects of bacterial and fungal diversity are often ignored. This is despite the fact that these microorganisms play vital role in decomposition of dead organic matter and in biogeochemical cycles. The scenario of microbial studies in India is not encouraging. Moreover in Gujarat …
