Agriculture provides humanity with food, fibers, fuel, and raw materials that are paramount
for human livelihood. Today, this role must be satisfied within a context of environmental …

This review surveys current and emerging drought monitoring approaches using satellite
remote sensing observations from climatological and ecosystem perspectives. We argue …

Abstract The “trapezoid” or “triangle” model constitutes the most popular approach to remote
sensing (RS) of surface soil moisture based on coupled thermal (ie, land surface …

Owing to the rise in water demand and looming climate change, recent years have
witnessed much focus on global drought scenarios. As a natural hazard, drought is best …

There has been a recent surge of interest in remote sensing and its use in ecology and
conservation but this is the first book to focus explicitly on the NDVI (Normalised Difference …

As one of the earliest remote sensing indices, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index
(NDVI) has been employed extensively for vegetation research. However, despite an …

This report examines the scientific basis for the use of remotely sensed data, particularly
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), primarily for the assessment of land …

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 …

As an important parameter in recent and numerous environmental studies, soil moisture
(SM) influences the exchange of water and energy at the interface between the land surface …

Remote sensing is becoming an increasingly important tool for agriculturalists, ecologists,
and land managers for the study of Earth's agricultural and natural vegetation, and can be …
