1. Detection of Goat Herding Impact on Vegetation Cover Change Using Multi-season, Multi-herd Tracking and Satellite ImageryThe frequency and severity of Mediterranean forest fires are expected to worsen as climate change progresses, heightening the need to evaluate understory fuel management strategies as rigorously as possible. Prescribed small-ruminant foraging is considered a sustainable, cost-effective strategy, but demonstrating a link between animal presence and vegetation change is challenging. This study tested whether the effect of small-ruminant herd presence in Mediterranean woodlands can be detected by... T. Paz Kagan, V. Alexandroff, E.D. Ungar |
2. Monitoring the Effects of Weed Management Strategies on Tree Canopy Structure and Growth Using UAV-LiDAR in a Young Almond OrchardThe primary objective of this study was to assess the potential effect of integrated weed management (IWM) on canopy structure and growth in a young almond orchard using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) LiDAR point cloud data. The experiment took place in the Neve Ya’ar Model Farm, with four IWM strategies tested: (1) standard herbicide-based management, (2) physical-mechanical approach, (3) cover crops, and (4) integrated weed management combining herbicide and mowing. In 2019 (pre-treatment)... T. Paz Kagan, R. Lati , T. Caras |
3. The Role of Imaging Spectroscopy in Monitoring Soil Quality for Precision AgricultureImaging Spectroscopy (IS) is a key application in precision agriculture, offering insights into soil quality spatiotemporal variability. This technology's integration into soil quality mapping enables farmers and agricultural managers to make decisions that elevate efficiency, productivity, and sustainability within farming operations. With ongoing advancements in remote sensing technology, the role of IS in precision agriculture is poised for further expansion, promising enhanced benefits... T. Paz Kagan |
4. Comparative Evaluation of Combined and Task Specific Detectors for Pomegranate Yield and Fruit Loss DetectionFruit cracking and drop represent major sources of yield loss in pomegranate orchards; however, existing vision-based yield estimation methods focus on counting healthy fruit and do not usually capture losses occurring on-tree and on the orchard floor, thereby constraining their operational relevance. This study evaluates detection strategies for simultaneous yield and loss quantification, with a specific comparison between combined multi class models and task specific single class models. Detection... Y. Tenenboim, Y. Edan, I. Ginzberg, T. Paz Kagan |
