ii Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, ETR 176 2021 Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, Karnataka Research Highlights • Ecological sensitivity or fragility refers to permanent and irreparable loss of extant life forms or significant damage to the natural processes of evolution and speciation with the alterations in the ecological integrity of a region.
• Ecological sensitive regions at decentralised levels in Udupi district has been identified by considering composite metric based on bio, geo, hydro, climatic and ecological factors with the social aspects, which were compiled at grid levels (5’x5’ grids or 9 x 9 km) through grid based natural environment survey at representative grids and the extensive literature review for the information at district level.

• LULC changes leading to deforestation has altered the landscape structure.
• Decline in forest cover during 1990-2020 with an increase in urban and open surfaces.

Horticulture plantations increased from 36.82 % (1990) to 42.39% (2020), • Conversion of agricultural land to commercial uses, all along the major highways has increased the built-up area from 0.22% to 9.22%.

• Fragmentation analysis shows a decline in interior forests and an increase of non-forest areas.

Temporal land surface temperature analysis across LU categories shows an increase of land surface temperature.
It has been observed that urban areas show an increase in maximum temperature.

• Bio-Geo climatic, ecological and social attributes were used for prioritizing and identification of ESR regions at disaggregated levels (grids).

• Ecological Sensitive Regions analysis highlights that Udupi one of the coastal districts shows, spatially 15% of the area represents ESR 1, while 31% of the area represents ESR 2.

42% of the area represents ESR 3 and about 12% of the area is in ESR 4.
• ESR 2 regions have sensitivity similar to ESR 1 and have the potential to become ESR 1 with appropriate eco-restoration strategies.

The level of eco-sensitiveness has a direct impact on temperature with a correlation of 0.69 across eco-sensitive regions in Udupi.

The comprehensive knowledge of ecological fragility of a region is quintessential for evolving strategies of conservation.
This entails understanding factors responsible for ecological sentiveness and also visualization of future growth to overcome the problems of haphazard and uncontrolled development approaches This has been done through assessment of LULC dynamics using temporal remote sensing data along with the field data and predicted future scenarios of transformation, which helps in the development of appropriate management strategies.
Prioritization of Ecological Sensitive Regions in the district was done at decentralized levels (dividing the region into 5’x5’ grids) by using geo- climatic, ecological, hydrologic and social variables.

Biodiversity Act (2002) Government of India empowers Biodiversity Management Committees at each panchayat for prudent management of natural resources at decentralised levels.

The spatial extent of grids (5’×5’ or 9 km × 9 km), is approximately equivalent to a panchayat.
This framework also helps in geospatial analyses by overlaying the collateral data available at decentralised levels.

These grids corresponds to (i) the Survey of India topographic maps of scale 1:50,000 and (ii) the spatial extent of each grid correspond to a panchayat, an administrative unit for the decentralised level of governance with an organized monitoring system for conservation of the region.

Forests are a major source for a wide range of goods (timber, fuelwood, non-timber forest produce, etc.)
and services that are critical to support people’s livelihood support and economy.

Unregulated changes in forests through unplanned developmental activities contributing to a rapid depletion of forest cover thereby threatening their sustenance.

In this context, the region is prioritized as ESR 1, ESR 2, ESR 3 and ESR 4 for sustainable management of ecologically fragile regions.

ESR 1 & ESR 2 are the no-go area with respect to developments and ESR 4 is referred as the least possible eco-sensitive region.
The Community-based Conservation (CBC) of ESR 2 & 3 © Ramachandra T V, Bharath S, 2021, Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, Karnataka, ENVIS Technical report 176, Sahyadri Conservation Series 106, Environmental Information System, CES, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012 2 Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, ETR 176 2021 is proposed for conservation of biological diversity (or wildlife) involving local communities in decision-making.
This approach would aid in the improvement of local ecology.

The impacts of unplanned developmental activities are evident from barren hill tops, reduced number of rainy days, the conversion of perennial streams to seasonal ones, frequent occurrence of land slides, lowered agriculture productivity, etc.

which necessitates conservation of fragile ecosystems to support local livelihoods .
A landscape refers to an ecological space with a mosaic of heterogeneous elements, and structure (composition and configuration) determines ecosystem functions and hence resources availability.

Alteration in the landscape structure with fragmentation would lead to loss of habitat and biodiversity.

Landscape dynamics with changes occurring in the physical space are driven by either natural or induced by humans.
Landscape dynamics operating along with a broad range of temporal and spatial scales changes the stability, persistence, resistance, resilience, and recovery properties of a landscape.

Understanding landscape dynamics are crucial for prudent management of natural resources (land, water, etc.)

and conservation.

Landscape dynamics has a crucial significance in ecological processes at social, economic and ecological health of individuals.
However, unplanned developmental activities have been affecting the sustenance of natural resources evident from the barren hilltops, conversion of perennial streams to the seasonal streams threatening water security, loss of topsoil threatening food security, etc.
Rapid unsustainable development during the post industrialization and globalization era has led to the reduction of natural spaces with an exponential increase in pervious surfaces and burgeoning population has led to changes in local climate and formation of urban heat islands.

Due to the increase in urban areas, paved surfaces and loss of green belts, there has been an increase in land surface temperature.
The current study prioritizes villages in the Udupi district, Central Western Ghats based on ecological sensitiveness based on ecological, geo-climatic, land and social prospects.

Ecological Sensitive Regions are the distinct ecological units with exceptional biotic and abiotic elements which need at most care and sustainable development.
Unplanned developmental activities altering the landscape structure impacts the sustenance of natural resources evident from barren hilltops, conversion of perennial streams to seasonal ones, increase in the land surface temperature, etc.

This necessitates prudent management of natural resources.

In this regard, a spatial decision support system will aid in the decision making with a better understanding of the landscape dynamics to ensure sustainable development.

The analyses of landscape dynamics using the temporal remote sensing data in Udupi district, Karnataka State reveal an increase in built-up areas by 2.68%, which also resulted in the increase in maximum temperature by 4˚C in Udupi district during 1990-2018.

The correlation analysis shows an increasing trend of LST across the ESR region with r2= 0.64 where ESR 1 shows the lowest temperature and ESR 4 has the maximum temperature.
1.0 Introduction Ecosystems are the distinct biological entities that connect biotic (living organisms) with the abiotic (nonliving) components (Fosberg, 1963; Lindeman 1942)., interacting as a system and characterized by a range of functions: nutrient cycling, bio-geochemical cycle, hydrological cycling, etc.

They provide a range of goods and services that are essential for human well- being, health, livelihood, and survival.
Ecosystem goods include food, fiber, freshwater, biochemical and genetic resources, etc.

Services provided by an ecosystem with the regulation of ecosystem processes are air quality regulation, climate regulation, water purification, disease control etc.

The goods and services provided by ecosystems sustain the livelihood of people and the extent of support depends on the conditions or health and spatial extent of the respective ecosystems.
Humans have been altering the integrity of the ecosystem evident from one third of the earth’s land surface turned into croplands and pastures with the decline of natural areas (Houghton 1994).

This necessitates an understanding of landscape dynamics to formulate effective management policies and sustain goods and services (Reid et al., 2000).

Land use and land cover (LULC) information are vital for understanding the ecosystem and interactions of human activities.
LU changes caused by anthropogenic activities lead to alteration in landscape dynamics causing various changes in biogeochemical cycles.

Thus, plays an important role in global climate change (Ramachandra et al., 2018).

LC relates to the type of physical features (vegetation, non-vegetation) present on the earth surface.

LU relates to the human activity or economic function associated with a specific piece of land, for example – agriculture, horticulture, forest, etc.

(Lillesand et al., 2004).


Landscape structure (size, shape and configuration) decides its functional aspects such as bio-geo chemical cycling and hydrological regimes.

Alteration in the structure of a landscape either due to natural or anthropogenic activities, affects the processes such as hydrologic regime, ecology, biodiversity, etc.

(Vinay et al., 2017).
Anthropogenic activities leading to large-scale © Ramachandra T V, Bharath S, 2021, Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, Karnataka, ENVIS Technical report 176, Sahyadri Conservation Series 106, Environmental Information System, CES, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012 4 Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, ETR 176 2021 alterations in LULC have been affecting the environment at a global scale.
Escalated deforestation to cater the growing demands with industrialization and globalization has been contributing to global climate changes with the alteration of biogeochemical cycles.

During the last three decades, there has been a substantial reduction in the spatial extent of forests with globalization and the subsequent opening of Indian markets (Bharath et al., 2017).

Forests constitute vital ecosystems covering about 30% of the Earth's surface.
Forest cover changes, especially due to unplanned anthropogenic activities (Huang et al., 2008), have widespread effects on the provision of ecosystem services towards human welfare.

As pressure on forest cover is increasing due to human interventions, there has been a growing concern to mitigate deforestation through monitoring at global and regional scales (Kuemmerle et al., 2007).
Vegetation in forest ecosystem plays a significant role in mitigating carbon in the atmosphere through sequestration during photosynthesis (Hansen et al., 2010).

Forests provide ecological, economic, and social services to human society, including the provision of food, refuges for biodiversity, regulation of the hydrologic cycle, medicinal, and forest products, recreational uses, protection of soil resources, and spiritual needs.
Forests play a decisive role in the hydrologic cycle through evapotranspiration which cools climate through feedbacks with clouds and precipitation.

The ratio of evapotranspiration to available energy is generally low in native forests compared to croplands or monoculture plantations (Bonan et al., 2008).

Vegetation cover in forests is a product of the long-term interaction of geomorphological features, hydrological conditions, soil type, climate change, and human activities (Zhu et al., 2012).
It helps in modulating the ecosystem through water retention, atmospheric circulation, and terrestrial soil stability, and maintains the balance of an ecosystem.

(Leilei et al., 2014; Liu et al., 2009).

Therefore, quantification of spatial extent and conditions of an ecosystem provide insights into LULC changes which will aid in natural resources management (Hansen et al., 2000).
Changes in the LU involving degradation of forests has resulted in the increase in land surface temperature (LST), which is the radiative skin temperature of the earth’s surface.

It is one of the key elements representing the integrated features of land atmosphere physical and dynamic processes (Shwetha et al., 2016).

Land surface temperature and emissivity aid in understanding energy budget estimation (Chakraborty et al., 2015).
© Ramachandra T V, Bharath S, 2021, Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, Karnataka, ENVIS Technical report 176, Sahyadri Conservation Series 106, Environmental Information System, CES, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012 5 Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, ETR 176 2021 Emissivity is the ratio of energy radiated from a material's surface to that radiated from a blackbody (a perfect emitter) at the same temperature and wavelength at the same viewing conditions.
The emissivity of a surface depends not only on the material but also on the nature of the surface.

Estimating LST using emissivity as a parameter provides accurate information with appropriate calibration of land use land cover changes (Bharath et al., 2013).

Conventionally, Land Surface Temperature (LST) is measured from the direct ground measurement.
The advancement in satellite remote sensing, land surface temperature is estimated using the data of thermal infrared bands by either split-window algorithms or mono window algorithms or radiative transfer equation (Bakar et al., 2016; Mujabar et al., 2018; Estoque et al., 2017; Asgarian et al., 2014 Danodia et al., 2018; Kumari et al., 2018; Kayet et al., 2016).
Urbanization is a dominant demographic trend, marked by the process of change in land use, causing the transition from a rural to a more urban society.

As an increment in urban land use, it reflects the loss of vegetation, agricultural land, open space, etc.

This has prompted investigation of the causes and consequences of LULC by mapping and modeling landscape patterns, and dynamics (Ramachandra and Bharath, 2018).
Hence, land use change analysis has become a prerequisite for managing and monitoring ecosystem and environmental changes.

Humans depend either directly or indirectly on forests to an extent of 80% in the developing world.

Altering the ecological integrity would impact the ecological goods and services affecting the livelihood of the dependent population (Ramachandra et al., 2016).
The conservation and sustainable management of ecosystems are the vital components in the pursuit of ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially acceptable development goals (Ramachandra et al., 2018; Ramachandra and Bharath, 2021).

This entails identifying eco- sensitive regions and their preservations.
Eco-sensitive area refers not only to ecologically sensitive areas or ecologically fragile areas but also ecologically significant areas for their ecological, biological, cultural, economic and historical values and is protected by government regulations.

(Gadgil et al., 2011).

The increased exploitation of natural resources and large- scale landscape transformations have led to the degradation of the ecosystem.
The process of decision making should mandatorily include the importance of the intact ecosystems for the sustenance of natural resources to meet the present as well as the future needs (Ramachandra et al., 2016).

The main objective of the current study is to prioritize ecologically sensitive areas in Udupi district, Karnataka State, India, and understand the linkages of LST with LU and ecologically sensitive regions.

It is located in the coastal region at the foot of the Western Ghats running along the West Coast of Karnataka.

It shares its boundary with Uttara Kannada district in north and Dakshina Kannada district in southern direction lying between 13°04' and 13°59' N latitude and 74°35' and 75°12' E longitude (Figure 1.1).

Geographically, the districts have a total area of 3582 square kilometers and is divided into three sub-districts namely Kundapura, Udupi, and Karkal.
It has large tracks of tropical evergreen forest called Western Ghats forest which is one of the biodiversity hot spots in the world which covers an area of 100102 hectares and is equally distributed in all taluks.

Figure 1.1 Geographic location- Udupi District The district is blessed with abundant rainfall, fertile soil, and lush vegetation.

Pristine beaches, picturesque mountain ranges, temple towns, and rich culture make it a famous tourist destination.
It is well known for Yakshagana- a fabulous costumed dance-drama form, Kambala- the sport of buffalo racing by farmers, Kori-katta (Cock Fight), and Bootha Kola.

It is called the hub for Cashew Processing Industries and outsourcing companies.

The district has a coastal line of about 100 km length with rich marine output and beautiful beaches, abundant religious and spiritual centres.
In the north, particularly in the Kundapura taluk, the Western © Ramachandra T V, Bharath S, 2021, Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, Karnataka, ENVIS Technical report 176, Sahyadri Conservation Series 106, Environmental Information System, CES, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012 7 Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, ETR 176 2021 Ghats are nowhere more than 40 km from the sea and at one point there is an extent of only about 10 km.
of plain land and at that point, the northern boundary of this district and the southern boundary of the Uttara Kannada district meet.

The northern portion has steep mountainous cliffs while the southern portion has parallel ridges intersected by deep valleys.

The most important mountains are the peak of Kodachadri, about 27 km from Kundapura, which is 1,341 meters (4,400 feet) high.
Forest cover: The slopes of the Western Ghats are endowed with dense forests containing valuable species including timber and fuelwood.

The heavy rainfall in the district stimulates the growth of forests, which sometimes, begin with a few kilometers of the seacoast.

Generally, the dense forest begins about 30 to 40 km from the coast.

The region is naturally blessed with evergreen, semi-evergreen and moist forests which totals approximately about 27.9 percent of the total geographical area (DCMSME, 2011).
Dense forest areas are prevalent in Kundapura and Karkal taluks.

The important timber trees are the teak, rosewood, ben teak (Tectona grandis), kiral bhogi (Hopea parviflora, Dipterocarpaceae family), Matti (Terminalia tomentosa; Terminalia arjuna), Maavu (Mangifera indica), and Kaadu halasu (Artocarpus hirsutus ).

Portuguese introduced pineapple (Ananas comosus) in the district which is now cultivated throughout the district.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is essentially found in the Karkal taluk and is cultivated in small patches in the district.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.

), cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), plantains (Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, Musa × paradisiaca), pepper (Piper nigrum) are some of the important crops which are grown in the district.

River and Drainage: The main drainage network is in the westward of the district.
The rivers and streams of the district flow from east to west as the Western Ghats are located in the eastern part of the district.

Varahi, Gangolli, Sitandi and Swarna are the important rivers.

These rivers are perennial whereas tributaries and smaller streams are seasonal and become dry during summer.

The prevailing high gradient in the hilly terrain and heavy rainfall bring a great volume of water in these rivers during the monsoon.
All these rivers join the Arabian Sea and are prone to tidal effects to considerable lengths in the inland area.

Lithology and soil: The soils of the district are derived from the coastal strips.

Laterite soil is the dominated soil characterized by a high iron and aluminium content (Figure 1.2).
This soil type occurs usually in heavy rainfall zone and is suitable for crops such as paddy, sugarcane, © Ramachandra T V, Bharath S, 2021, Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, Karnataka, ENVIS Technical report 176, Sahyadri Conservation Series 106, Environmental Information System, CES, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012 8 Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, ETR 176 2021 areca nut, coconut, cardamom and plantains.
Valleys and ravines in the district contain fertile alluvial soil.

The district contains recent and sub-recent deposits and lateritic formations.

The older metamorphic rocks constitute mainly the Dharwars which are represented by the banded ferruginous quartzite and by the talc and hornblende schist (Figure 1.3).

Lithology map of Udupi Rainfall: Udupi district gets an annual rainfall of 4000 mm.
The district falls under the coastal agro-climatic zone and has a good network of registered rain gauge stations:14 in Kundapura taluk, 9 in Karkal taluk, and 5 in Udupi taluk.

Mainly the rainy season starts from June and lasts till September end.

The rainfall increases from the coast towards the Western Ghats on the eastern border of the district (figure 1.4).

More than 85% of the annual rainfall is in the southwest monsoon season and the heaviest rainfall is during July.

The hot season is from March to May, followed by the Southwest monsoon season, October and November are post-monsoon seasons and December to February are the northeast monsoon, although the rains cease after December and the rest of the season is generally dry.

May is the hottest month during which the maximum temperature reaches up to 40˚C and the minimum stays around 22˚C.
The weather in the district is well suited for the cultivation of paddy and for raising plantation crops like Areca nut, Coconut, and Banana on the slopes of hills and in the valleys.

The district is endowed with hot moist subhumid and hot humid wherein the region experiences warm summer and cool and dry winters.

2.3 Method The present study has been carried out (i) using remote sensing data to analyse land uses extent and conditions, (ii) identify and prioritize ecologically sensitive regions based on ecology, geo-climatic, land, and social attributes.

The approaches used in the study include land use analysis, fragmentation, land surface temperature, weightage metric score, and spatial decision support system.
The details of the approach are outlined in Figure 2.1 are discussed below: © Ramachandra T V, Bharath S, 2021, Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, Karnataka, ENVIS Technical report 176, Sahyadri Conservation Series 106, Environmental Information System, CES, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012 12 Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, ETR 176 2021 Figure 2.1.
Method adopted for LULC Analysis 2.3.1 Land Use Analysis: LU analysis involved : i.

Quality parameters: The remote sensing data were chosen so that the data has no or minimal cloud cover (less than 10 percent) and pixel quality.

ii.

Image pre-processing and geo-referencing: The data was rectified radiometric errors and geometric errors.

Geometric rectification is done using ground control points with the nearest neighbourhood technique.
The geo-rectified image is then projected to WGS/UTM 43N (EPSG: 32643).

iii.

LU Classification: Remote sensing data is classified using a supervised classifier based on the Gaussian Maximum Likelihood principle.

In the supervised technique, training data of representative LU describing the spectral attributes (Lillesand et al., 2004) is considered.

The technique essentially uses a Gaussian maximum likelihood classifier considering variance and covariance of the unknown pixels.

𝐾 = 𝑂𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑦−𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝐴𝑔𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 1−𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝐴𝑔𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 …..1 2.3.2 Fragmentation: The condition of forest ecosystem is assessed through fragmentation analyses involving both the extent of the forest and its spatial pattern.
Fragmentation of forests measures the degree to which forested areas are being broken into smaller patches and pierced with non-forest cover.

It is estimated through the computation of Pf and Pff.

Pf is the ratio of number of pixels that are forested to the total number of non-forested non-water pixels in the kernel (3X3) and Pff is the proportion of all adjacent (in all cardinal directions) pixel pairs that include at least one forest pixel, for which both pixels are forested.
Various levels of fragmentation are outlined in Figure 2.2, which consists of five components: (i) Interior forest: It is essentially consisting of thick forest cover, (ii) Patch forest: Forest area comprising small forested areas surrounded by non-forested land cover, (iii) Perforated forest: Forest pixels forming the boundary between an interior forest and relatively small clearings (perforations) within forest landscape, (iv) Edge forest: Forest pixels that define the boundary between interior forest and large non-forested land cover features and (v) Transitional forest: Areas between edge type and non-forest types.
If higher pixels are non-forest, then they will be tending to non-forest cover with a higher degree of edge.

Its estimation depends on the albedo, the vegetation cover, and the soil moisture.

LST influences the partition of energy between ground and vegetation and determines the surface air temperature.
Retrieval of LST from Landsat 8 thermal data involves computation of radiance correction, reflectance correction, converting DN value to brightness temperature, computation of NDVI, the proportion of vegetation, Emissivity-corrected LST (details in Figure 2.3) as follows: Radiance correctness: 𝐿𝜆 = 𝑀𝐿𝑄𝑐𝑎𝑙 + 𝐴𝐿 ..2 𝐿𝜆is TOA (temperature of atmosphere) spectral radiance (Watts/ (m2 * srad * μm)), 𝑀𝐿 is Band specific multiplicative rescaling factor from the metadata, 𝐴𝐿 is Band specific additive rescaling factor from the metadata, 𝑄𝑐𝑎𝑙 is Quantized and calibrated standard product pixel values (DN).
Reflectance correctness: ρλ′ = Mρ𝑄𝑐𝑎𝑙 + Aρ ….3 ρλ’ is TOA (temperature of atmosphere) planetary reflectance, Mρ is Band-specific multiplicative rescaling factor from the metadata, Aρ is Band-specific additive rescaling factor from the metadata.

Calculation of NDVI: 𝑁𝐷𝑉𝐼 = 𝐵𝑎𝑛𝑑5−𝐵𝑎𝑛𝑑4 𝐵𝑎𝑛𝑑5+𝐵𝑎𝑛𝑑4 …..5 Where Band5 is the near infrared band and band4 is the red band.
Step 5: Calculation of Proportion of vegetation (Pv): 𝑃𝑣 = ( 𝑁𝐷𝑉𝐼−𝑁𝐷𝑉𝐼𝑚𝑖𝑛 𝑁𝐷𝑉𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑥−𝑁𝐷𝑉𝐼𝑚𝑖𝑛 )2 ……6 Land surface emissivity is very important in the calculation of LST as it is the proportionality factor that scales blackbody radiance (Planck’s law) to predict emitted radiance, and it is the efficiency of transmitting thermal energy across the surface into the atmosphere (Kumari et al., 2018).
For all objects, emissivity are very close to 1, but to get a more precise temperature © Ramachandra T V, Bharath S, 2021, Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, Karnataka, ENVIS Technical report 176, Sahyadri Conservation Series 106, Environmental Information System, CES, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012 15 Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, ETR 176 2021 emissivity of each LC class is considered separately (Table 2.2.4).
The land surface emissivity LSE (ε) is calculated as proposed by Sobrino et al., 2004 𝜀 = 0.004𝑃𝑉 + 0.986 ……7 where ε is the emissivity.

Method adopted for LST Analysis 2.3.4 Prioritization of Ecological Sensitive Zones: Ecologically sensitive regions necessarily refer to the areas of high ecological significance value.

These are the regions where anthropogenic activities can cause alterations in the natural structure of the biological communities and natural habitats.

The steps followed during identification and prioritization of ecological sensitive regions are detailed in Figure 2.4 and listed below: i.
Creation of grids: The study area is divided into grids of 5’ X 5’covering approximately 9 X 9 km2 (comparable to grids of the Survey of India topographic maps of scale 1:50000) for prioritizing ESR at decentralized levels (panchayat level).

ii.

Integration of data with grid: In this study, four different attributes being ecology, geo-climatic, land, and social were selected for the prioritization of ESR.

Ecology consists of flora and fauna present in the region.
Geo-climatic refers to the various geological and climatic parameters such as rainfall, elevation, slope, LST, soil, agro- © Ramachandra T V, Bharath S, 2021, Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, Karnataka, ENVIS Technical report 176, Sahyadri Conservation Series 106, Environmental Information System, CES, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012 17 Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, ETR 176 2021 ecological zones, and lithology.
Land essentially consists of forest cover and interior forest extent and social consisting of tribal and social population density.

iii.

Weightage metric score: Weightages were assigned to attributes based on their significance value.

Weightage metric score is estimated using equation 11.

𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 = ∑ 𝑊𝑖 𝑛 𝑖=1 𝑉𝑖 ……..11 Where n is the number of data sets (variables), 𝑉𝑖 is the value associated with criterion i, and 𝑊𝑖 is the weight associated with that criterion.
Based on the weightage, rank is given between 1 to 10 wherein value 10 corresponds to the highest priority for conservation, 7, 5, and 3 corresponds to high, moderate and low level of prioritization whereas 1 corresponds to least priority for conservation iv.
Prioritization of ESR: Weights are aggregated for each grid and grouped into four groups as ESR 1, ESR 2, ESR 3 and ESR 4 based on the aggregated scores (ESR 1: aggregated scores > µ+2σ, ESR 2 (for grids within µ+2σ and µ+σ), ESR 3 (for grids with µ+σ and µ) and ESR 4 (grids with values < µ).

In particular, the weightages are based on an individual proxy and depends extensively on GIS techniques, which is the most effective method.

The transitional forest has decreased from 1.8% (1990) to 1.04% (2020) with increased edge forests indicating boundary between interior forest and non-forest has increased.

The increase in non- forest areas signifies a major portion of the forest area has been converted into built-up areas, croplands, roads etc.

Figures 3.4 and 3.5 give an insight into the present rate of deforestation and habitat destruction across the region.
The core forest exists only as protected areas, sanctuaries, national parks and sacred groves.

Geo-climate: The geo-climatic parameter plays a crucial role in determining the landscape dynamics of any region.

The patterns of altitude, slope, rainfall helps in determining the forest cover, biodiversity, etc., of a region.

Regions with high rainfall, elevation and slope were assigned a value of 10 and the lowest is given a value of 1.
Loamy soil is considered best for agricultural purposes with rich porosity and humus content, which is assigned a value of 10, while laterite and mixed red and black soil are assigned a value of 7, red sandy and medium black were given 5 and coastal alluvium as 1.

Lithology is an important factor considering landscape structure and patterns.

Charnockites was given the highest value of 10 followed by peninsular gneiss of 7, clospet granite, and Dharwars were assigned 5 while alluvium was assigned 1.
Agro-ecological zones play a significant role in determining climate of a region.

Therefore, hot humid is assigned the highest value of 10 as the region receives high rainfall around 1500mm or more.

Hot moist sub-humid is assigned 7, hot dry sub-humid is given 5 and hot moist semi-arid is assigned a lowest value of 3.

Social: Forest dwellers (tribes) of the study regions were mapped and the grids with high tribal population were given higher weightage.

Population increase is one of the global phenomena leading to resource degradation.

An increase in population density will lead to loss of natural resources, species extinction etc.

In this study, population density per sq.

km has been considered as one of the influencing factors in resource use.
Therefore, grids with less population density were given higher weightages.

Forest dwellers were spatially mapped and were given higher weights as they were directly or indirectly dependent on forest resources and also protects the forest.

Grid wise village population was computed for 2011.

The grids with a population density of less than 50 persons were assigned high weights and vice-versa.

Figure 3.14 depicts population density assigned to the grids with corresponding weights.
The hilly regions have high forest cover with less population density.

Figure showing social variables and weights- Udupi District Ecological Sensitive Regions: Ecologically sensitive regions were prioritized considering ecological, geo-climatic, land and social prospects.

Based on the relative significance of themes, regions were prioritized using weightage metric score as ESR 1 (Regions of highest sensitivity), ESR 2 (Regions of higher sensitivity), ESR 3 (Regions of high sensitivity) and ESR 4 (Regions of moderate sensitivity).

Figure showing ESR regions at taluk and village level- Udupi District Figure 3.16 Village wise ESR Spatially 15% of the district represents ESR 1, while 31% of area represents ESR 2.

42% of the district represents ESR 3 and about 12% of the district is in ESR 4.

Figure 3.15 depicts with taluk and village boundaries.

ESR analysis at village level shows only 14 villages are in ESR 1, 52 villages in ESR 2, 178 villages in ESR 3 and rest 51 in ESR 4 (Figure 3.16).
Eco sensitiveness and LST: Eco sensitiveness of a region has a direct impact on temperature.

ESR 1 shows less temperature as compared to ESR 2, ESR 3 and ESR 4.
ESR 1 has the maximum forest cover and rich © Ramachandra T V, Bharath S, 2021, Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, Karnataka, ENVIS Technical report 176, Sahyadri Conservation Series 106, Environmental Information System, CES, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012 29 Grid based Inventorying and Mapping of Ecological Sensitive Regions in Udupi district, ETR 176 2021 biodiversity along with less population which aided in the low land surface temperature.
LST trend shows an increase in temperature (r=0.69) across ESR regions.

LST across ESR- Udupi Multivariate analysis is carried out to find out the relationship between LST and various independent variables (rainfall, forest cover, interior forest cover and population density).
In the study, variables considered are rainfall weight (x1), forest cover (x2), interior forest cover (x3) and population density weight (x4) to understand the change of temperature across the ESR regions in the districts.

Probale relationship is given by LST = 0 x1- 0.28x2 + 0.16 x3 - 0.28 x4+31.94 (r: 0.851, p <0.05) Conclusion LULC changes leading to deforestation has altered the landscape structure.
The anthropogenic activities have led to the loss of primaeval forest cover due to monoculture plantations of exotic species.

The study showed a loss in forest cover during 1990-2018 with an increase in urban and open surfaces.

Horticulture plantations increased from 17.01% (1990) to 27.54% (2018), while cropland shows a decline with an increase in horticulture plantations of acacia, eucalyptus etc.
Conversion of agricultural land to commercial uses, all along the major highways has increased the built-up area from 0.78% to 0.92%.

Fragmentation analysis shows a decline in interior forests and an increase of non-forest areas.

Temporal land surface temperature analysis across LU categories shows an increase of land surface temperature.

Bio-Geo climatic, ecological and social attributes were used for prioritizing and identification of ESR regions at disaggregated levels (grids).

The study showed the variation in soil, lithology etc., across the districts and change in climate pattern with respect to different prospects.

Ecological Sensitive Regions analysis highlights that Udupi one of the coastal districts shows, spatially 15% of the area represents ESR 1, while 31% of the area represents ESR 2.
42% of the area represents ESR 3 and about 12% of the area is in ESR 4.

ESR 2 regions have sensitivity similar to ESR 1 and have the potential to become ESR 1 with appropriate eco-restoration strategies.

The level of eco-sensitiveness has a direct impact on temperature with a correlation of 0.69 across eco-sensitive regions in Udupi.
