1. Field-level Zoning at Regional Scale Using Remote Sensing and GIS: Lessons Learned from the Desert Agriculture Region of Southern California

A decision support tool, SAMZ-Desert, utilizing GIS and remote sensing techniques, was created to delineate management zones (MZs) for a total of 6852 fields in California's Imperial County. Landsat-8 NDVI data from April 27, 2018, was employed for this purpose. Furthermore, 11 cloud-free images captured between 2018 and 2020 were statistically analyzed to assess within-field NDVI variability and the temporal stability of MZs at the regional level. Approximately 37% of the fields in the region... A.K. Verdi, A. Garg, A. Sapkota
