Assessing gaps in irrigated agricultural productivity through satellite earth observations—A case study of the Fergana Valley, Central Asia
tImproving crop area and/or crop yields in agricultural regions is one of the foremost scientific challengesfor the next decades. This is especially true in irrigated areas because sustainable intensification of irri-gated ...
Application of remote sensing in estimating maize grain yield in heterogeneous African agricultural landscapes
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the second most commonly grown crop worldwide and number one staple food in Africa where it accounts for more than 50% of the energy requirements. However, despite its widespread cultivation and the ...
Estimating Agricultural Crop Types and Fallow Lands Using Multi Temporal Sentinel-2A Imageries
Meeting the food and nutritional demands of ever growing human population will cause immense pressure on agricultural lands and natural resource bases across the world. This challenge can be met only by proper land and ...
Changes in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. subsp. vulgare) genetic diversity and structure in Jordan over a period of 31 years
In many regions of the world, the cultivation of landraces is still common, in particular in centres of crop diversity. Significant effort has been put into ex situ conservation of landraces but limited data exist on the ...
Energy determines broad pattern of plant distribution in Western Himalaya
Several factors describe the broad pattern of diversity in plant species distribution. We explore these determinants of species richness in Western Himalayas using high-resolution species data available for the area to ...
Regional-scale monitoring of cropland intensity and productivity with multi-source satellite image time series
In the context of growing populations and limited resources, the sustainable intensification of agricultural production is of great importance to achieve food security. As the need to support management at a range of spatial ...
Decadal National Land Cover Database for Jordan at 30 m resolution
Availability of national land cover database plays a fundamental role in understanding environmental and socio-ecological issues under a constant state of changing climate and demography. However, systematic, compatible, ...
