Nutrient Cycles

Carbon Cycle: Carbon moves between the atmosphere, plants, animals, and the soil. Plants take in carbon dioxide, animals eat plants, and carbon returns to the air through breathing and decay. This cycle helps regulate Earth's temperature! Water Cycle: Water continuously moves through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. It rises as vapor, forms clouds, and falls back as rain—supplying fresh water to rivers, plants, animals, and us! Nitrogen Cycle: Nitrogen in the air gets converted by bacteria into forms plants can use. Animals get nitrogen by eating plants. When living things die, nitrogen returns to the soil—and the cycle repeats!

Supervised Classification

In the context of Remote Sensing (RS) and Digital Image Processing (DIP) , supervised classification is the process where an analyst defines "training sites" (Areas of Interest or ROIs) representing known land cover classes (e.g., Water, Forest, Urban). The computer then uses these training samples to teach an algorithm how to classify the rest of the image pixels. The algorithms used to classify these pixels are generally divided into two broad categories: Parametric and Nonparametric decision rules. Parametric Decision Rules These algorithms assume that the pixel values in the training data follow a specific statistical distribution—almost always the Gaussian (Normal) distribution (the "Bell Curve"). Key Concept: They model the data using statistical parameters: the Mean vector ( $\mu$ ) and the Covariance matrix ( $\Sigma$ ) . Analogy: Imagine trying to fit a smooth hill over your data points. If a new point lands high up on the hill, it belongs to that cl...
