Abstract

Land Surface Temperature (LST) is a vital metric for understanding thermal dynamics and environmental impacts of land cover types. Influenced by land use, vegetation, and elevation, LST helps assess ecological changes and human impacts on surface temperatures. This study investigates LST variations between oil palm plantations and rice paddies in southern Sumatra, Indonesia, using Landsat 8 remote sensing data. The aim is to compare the thermal characteristics of these dominant agricultural landscapes across elevation gradients (0–1250 meters above sea level). Results reveal significant LST differences: rice fields generally show higher LST values at lower elevations, while oil palm plantations have elevated LST at mid-elevations. Statistical analyses indicate that, on average, oil palm plantations exhibit a slightly lower LST than rice fields, with a difference of 0.093°C, likely due to higher albedo and reduced evapotranspiration. These findings highlight the complex relationship between land cover and elevation in affecting LST patterns. The insights gained are essential for sustainable land management policies that seek to balance agricultural productivity with environmental conservation. This research deepens our understanding of LST dynamics in agricultural landscapes, providing valuable data for policymakers and land managers.

Abstract

Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) change are major factors affecting Land Surface Temperature (LST), especially in areas experiencing urbanisation and climate change pressures. Ciputri Village, which is predominantly agricultural, has experienced significant changes in land cover patterns over the past two decades, with the potential for increased surface temperature due to land use change. This study analyses and predicts the dynamics of land use and cover changes and their relationship with land surface temperature in the period 2005-2035 using a combination of remote sensing data and Cellular Automata-Artificial Neural Network (CA-ANN) models. The analysis showed that between 2005 and 2020, the area of dense vegetation decreased by 20.49%, while built-up land increased by 43.75%. In line with these changes, surface temperature increased by 1.96°C on average. Predictions to 2035 show a similar trend, with built-up land projected to increase by 20.11%, while average surface temperature is expected to increase by 2.71°C compared to 2005. The correlation between land cover change and surface temperature variation suggests that conversion of dense vegetation to mixed land and built-up land is a major factor driving temperature increases. These findings emphasise the urgency of spatially-based climate change mitigation, including vegetation conservation and sustainable development planning to reduce the impact of future temperature increases.
