1. Remote Estimation Of Gross Primary Production In MaizeThere is a growing interest in the estimation of gross primary productivity (GPP) in crops due to its importance in regional and global studies of carbon balance. We have found that crop GPP was closely related to its total chlorophyll content, and thus chlorophyll can be used as a proxy of GPP in crops. In this study, we tested the performance of various vegetation indices for estimating GPP. The indices were derived from spectral data collected remotely but at close-range over a period of eight...

2. Using A Surface Energy Model (reset) To Determine The Spatial Variability Of ET Within And Between Agricultural FieldsRemote sensing algorithms are currently being used to estimate regional surface fluxes (e.g. evapotranspiration (ET)). Many of these surface energy balance models use information derived from satellite imagery such as aircraft, Landsat, AVHRR, ASTER, and MODIS to estimate ET. The remote sensing approach to estimating ET provides advantages over traditional methods. One of the most important advantages is that it can provide estimates of actual ET for each pixel in the image. Most conventional... L. Garcia, A. Elhaddad |
3. Rapidscan And CropCircle Radiometers: Opportunities And Limitation In Assessing Wheat Biomass And NitrogenRemote sensing is a promising technology that provides information about the crop's physiological and phenological status. This information is based on the spectral absorption and scattering features of the plants. Many different vegetation indices (VI) have been developed, and are in use to estimate quantitatively the relationship between multi and hyper-spectral reflectance and effective crop physiological parameters, i.e. nitrogen (N) content, biomass, leaf area index (LAI). The CropCircle... A.A. Gitelson, D.J. Bonfil |
