Vegetation indices (VIs), which describe remotely sensed vegetation properties such as
photosynthetic activity and canopy structure, are widely used to study vegetation dynamics …

Understanding dryland dynamics is essential to predict future climate trajectories. However,
there remains large uncertainty on the extent to which drylands are expanding or greening …

Vegetation greenness has been increasing globally since at least 1981, when satellite
technology enabled large-scale vegetation monitoring. The greening phenomenon, together …

Emerging technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) can provide significant potential in
Smart Farming and Precision Agriculture applications, enabling the acquisition of real-time …

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is growing rapidly across many civil
application domains, including real-time monitoring, providing wireless coverage, remote …

The use of satellites to monitor crops and support their management is gathering increasing
attention. The improved temporal, spatial, and spectral resolution of the European Space …

Soil erosion is generally recognized as the dominant process of land degradation. The
formation and expansion of gullies is often a highly significant process of soil erosion …

Satellite based remote sensing offers one of the few approaches able to monitor the spatial
and temporal development of regional to continental scale droughts. A unique element of …

Mangrove ecosystems provide critical goods and ecosystem services to coastal
communities and contribute to climate change mitigation. Over four decades, remote …

In this study we combined selected vegetation indices (VIs) and plant height information to
estimate biomass in a summer barley experiment. The VIs were calculated from ground …
