Approximately 1 billion ha of the global land surface is currently salt-affected, representing
about 7% of the earth's land surface. Whereas most of it results from natural geochemical …

Global plant genetics research efforts have focused on developing high yielding, stress
tolerant, and disease resistant row and field crop varieties that are more efficient in their use …

Drought is a predominant cause of low yields worldwide. There is an urgent need for more
water efficient cropping systems facing large water consumption of irrigated agriculture and …

Management of nitrogen (N) is a challenging task and several methods individually and in
combination are in use to manage its efficiency. However, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) has …

Remote sensing can provide a fast and reliable alternative for traditional in situ water status
measurement in vineyards. Several vegetation indices (VIs) derived from aerial multispectral …

Hyperspectral data (Table 1) is acquired as continuous narrowbands (eg, each band with 1
to 10 nanometer or nm bandwidths) over a range of electromagnetic spectrum (eg, 400 …

Most animals use a “green” spectral range to remotely sense the presence and vitality of
vegetation. While humans possess the same ability in their eyes, man-made space-borne …

Forest sustainable management aims to maintain the income of woody goods for
companies, together with preserving non-productive functions as a benefit for the …

The advances achieved during the last 30 years demonstrate the aptitude of the remote
sensing-based vegetation indices (VI) for the assessment of crop evapotranspiration (ET c) …

A number of studies have linked responses in leaf spectral reflectance, transmittance, or
absorptance to physiological stress. A variety of stressors including dehydration, flooding …
