Vegetation Dynamics and Crop Stress: An Earth-Observation Perspective

Vegetation Dynamics and Crop Stress: An Earth-Observation Perspective focuses on vegetation dynamics and crop stress at both the regional and country levels by using earth observation (EO) data sets. The book uniquely provides a better understanding of natural vegetation and crop failure through geo-spatial technologies. This book covers biophysical control of vegetation, deforestation, desertification, drought, and crop-water efficiency, as well as the application of satellite-derived measures from optical, thermal, and microwave domains for monitoring and modeling crop condition, agricultural drought, and crop health in contrasting monsoon/weather episodes. Provides a quantitative analysis of vegetation and crop stress based on EO datasets Offers descriptions of the spatially explicit vegetation and crop model development, implementation, and validation Covers the impact of soil-water stress on crop performance and vegetation response to climate change using earth observation techniques INDICE: 1. Multispectral EO sensors for monitoring vegetation dynamics 2. Microwave EO sensors for monitoring vegetation dynamics 3. Hyperspectral EO sensors for monitoring vegetation dynamics 4. Forest vegetation dynamics and its response to climate change 5. Prediction of vegetation dynamics under the background of climate change 6. Vegetation water content and water stress treatments in response to climate change 7. Climate change impacts on crop productivity, and food security 8. The impact of climate change on farmland ecosystem 9. Crop ecosystem responses to climatic change 10. EO quantitative inversion of crop and relevant environmental parameters 11. EO for monitoring crop growth, health and yield 12. EO for pests and diseases 13. Spatially-explicit crop model development, implementation, and validation 14. Soil moisture for crop water-stress detection 15. Extreme weather events and their impact on the crop yields
