New vegetation type map of India prepared using satellite remotesensing: Comparison with global vegetation maps and utilities
A seamless vegetation type map of India (scale 1: 50,000) prepared using medium-resolution IRS LISS-IIIimages is presented. The map was created using an on-screen visual interpretation technique and has anaccuracy of 90%, ...
Comparison of four EVI-based models for estimating gross primary production of maize and soybean croplands and tallgrass prairie under severe drought
Accurate estimation of gross primary production (GPP) is critical for understanding ecosystem response to climate
variability and change. Satellite-based diagnostic models, which use satellite images and/or climate data
as ...
Production potential of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) in East Africa
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) could possibly become a major crop in East Africa due to its many uses as
a food and feed. Also, its ability to undertake symbiotic nitrogen fixation is an advantage over cereal crops.
This ...
Mapping paddy rice planting areas through time series analysis of MODIS land surface temperature and vegetation index data
management of water resources, and estimation of greenhouse gas (methane) emissions. Paddy rice agriculture
has expanded rapidly in northeastern China in the last decade, but there are no updated maps of
paddy rice fields ...
Spatial characterization of colonies of the flying fox bat, a carrier of Nipah Virus in Thailand
A major reservoir of Nipah virus is believed to be the flying fox genus Pteropus, a fruit bat distributed
across many of the world’s tropical and sub-tropical areas. The emergence of the virus and its zoonotic transmission
to ...
Tracking the dynamics of paddy rice planting area in 1986–2010 through time series Landsat images and phenology-based algorithms
Agricultural land use change substantially affects climate,water, ecosystems, biodiversity, and humanwelfare. In
recent decades, due to increasing population and food demand and the backdrop of global warming, croplands
have ...
Assessment of the agricultural production with satellite earth observation – A case study in Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan
Assessment of the agricultural production with satellite earth observation – A case study in Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan (will updated once final manuscript is published
A pilot study on the effect of Cu, Zn, and Cd on the spectral curves and chlorophyll of wheat canopy at tiller stage
The aim of this study was to investigate canopy spectral reflectance responses to
different levels of heavy metals copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and cadmium (Cd) induced
stress. Random blocks design experiment was conducted to ...
