1. Soil Microbial Communities Have Distinct Spatial Patterns in Agricultural FieldsSoil microbial communities mediate many important soil processes in agricultural fields, however their spatial distribution at distances relevant to precision agriculture is poorly understood. This study examined the soil physico-chemical properties and topographic features controlling the spatial distribution of soil microbial communities in a commercial potato field in eastern Canada using next generation sequencing. Soil was collected from a transect (1100 m) with 83 sampling points in a landscape... B. Zebarth, C. Goyer, S. Neupane, S. Li, A. Mills, S. Whitney, A. Cambouris, I. Perron |
2. A Fusion Strategy to Map Corn Crop ResiduesAccess to post-harvest residue coverage information is crucial for agricultural management and soil conservation. The purpose of this study was to present a new approach based on an ensemble at the decision level for mapping the corn residue. To this end, a set of Landsat 8 imagery and field data including the Residue Cover Fraction (RCF) of corn (149 samples), were used. Firstly, a map of common spectral indices for RCF modeling was prepared based on the spectral bands. Then, the efficiency of... S. Fathololoumi, M.K. Firozjaei, A. Biswas, P. Daggupati |
