The impact of food and agricultural policies on groundwater use in Syria
During the last three decades, the expansion of irrigation using both surface water and groundwater
resources has had an important positive impact on Syria’s agricultural production. It is an example of success
in achieving ...
Estimation of shrub canopy cover by digital vegetation charting technique (DVCT), Syria
The shrub fodder component should be measured to avoid underestimation of the carrying capacity of rangelands. In this study, we present a fast, reliable and non-destructive method to estimate canopy vegetation cover to ...
Agricultural water productivity for irrigated areas in 2006
Agricultural Water Productivity (WPM) (kg/m3) was determined for each pixel by dividing crop productivity (kg/ha) raster layer by seasonal crop water use in terms of actual evapotranspiration (m3/ha) raster layer.The WPM ...
Actual Evapotranspiration of irrigated areas in 2002
Evapotranspiration was determined using the methodology proposed by USGS’s Simplified Surface Energy Balance. The Actual Evapotranspiration (AET,mm) estimation was done using MODIS 1km (thermal infrared band resolution) ...
Crop yield of rainfed areas in 2006
Crop yield layer where derived from MODIS gross primary productivity (GPP) layer as a production efficiency model approach that estimates crop growth from intercepted photo synthetically active radiation and light use ...
