Tracking the dynamics of paddy rice planting areas through analysis of time series Landsat images
Paddy rice agriculture affects food supply, climate, water, biodiversity, and ecosystems. It varies substantially over time and space, for example, continuous expansion in northeastern China and rapid loss in southern China ...
Quantification of cropping pattern and productivity of agro-ecosystems in Central Asia
Agricultural production systems in Central Asia have been evolving in response to changes in climate, land use and policies. The cropping pattern and productivities of irrigated and rainfed agro-ecosystems as well as grazing ...
Exacerbated degradation and desertification of grassland in Central Asia
Grassland desertification is a complex process, including both state conversion (e.g., grasslands to deserts) and
gradual within-state change (e.g., greenness dynamics). Existing studies generally did not separate the ...
Quantification of Land Degradation and Productivity of Agro-Ecosystems under Changing Climate and Land Use
Agro-ecosystems in dry areas are sensitive to changes in climate
and land use. The productivities of these agro-ecosystems are
highly variable in both spatial and temporal scales. Accurate and
up-to-date information on ...
Satellite-based observation and modeling of grasslands and croplands in dry areas
Grasslands and croplands in dry areas (semi-arid and arid regions) are sensitive to changes in
climate and land use. Accurate and updated information of grasslands and croplands are
important for the studies of food security ...
Spatial big-data analytics for agricultural intensification and crop diversification in rice fallows
Supply-demand gap of agricultural commodities continues to rise while total arable land area is
not expected to increase significantly in India. Future increases in agricultural production will be
contingent upon agricultural ...
