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 ...
The potential and uptake of remote sensing in insurance: A review
Global insurance markets are vast and diverse, and may offer many opportunities for remote sensing. To date, however, few operational applications of remote sensing for insurance exist. Papers claiming potential application ...
Soil-Landscape Modeling and Remote Sensing to Provide Spatial Representation of Soil Attributes for an Ethiopian Watershed
Information about the spatial distribution of soil properties is necessary for natural resources modeling; however, the cost of soil surveys limits the development of high-resolution soil maps. The objective of this study ...
A Knowledge-Based Approach for Mapping Land Degradation in the Arid Rangelands of North Africa
Rangelands cover about 82% of the arid area of Morocco. It is generally acknowledged that these areas are threatened by desertification.
Monitoring desertification requires accurate knowledge about the current status of ...
Soil-Landscape Estimation and Evaluation Program (SLEEP) to predict spatial distribution of soil attributes for environmental modeling
The spatial distribution of surface and subsurface soil attributes is an important input to environmental modeling.
Soil attributes represent an important input to the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), which influence ...
