Crop yield forecasting plays a vital role in coping with the challenges of the impacts of climate change on agriculture. Improvements in the timeliness and accuracy of yield forecasting by incorporating near real-time remote sensing data and the use of sophisticated statistical methods can improve our capacity to respond effectively to these challenges. The objectives of this study were (i) to ...

Vegetation phenology is a key indicator of vegetation-climate interactions and carbon sink changes in ecosystems. Therefore, it very important to understand the temporal spatial variability vegetation driving climatic determinants [e.g., temperature (Ts) soil moisture (SM)]. greenness photosynthetic were derived using double logistic (DL) method enhance index (EVI) solar-induced chlorophyll flu...

The Bathurst caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus (Borowski, 1780)) herd declined from ∼349 000 animals in 1996 to ∼8200 2018. Climate-driven changes tundra and boreal vegetation is one hypothesis for the decline. We modelled mapped annual productivity phenology across herd’s range using enhanced index (EVI) data derived a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) time series sp...

The Arnasay depression in Central Uzbekistan received large quantities of drainage water leading to the formation Aydarkul-Arnasay Lake System (AALS). level AALS drastically increased 1969, when a flood nearby Syrdarya River basin could not be contained Chardarya reservoir, and today it occupies an area 4000 km 2 Mirzachul Kyzylkum desert. Increasing lake’s also affects surrounding agricultural...

This paper describes the design of an integrity-aware Forensic Evidence Management System (FEMS). The well-known Biba integrity model is employed to preserve and reason about the integrity of stored evidence. Casey’s certainty scale provides the integrity classification scheme needed to apply the Biba model. The paper also discusses the benefits of using an integrity-aware system for managing d...

To examine the method for estimating the spatial patterns of soil respiration (Rs) in agricultural ecosystems using remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS), Rs rates were measured at 53 sites during the peak growing season of maize in three counties in North China. Through Pearson's correlation analysis, leaf area index (LAI), canopy chlorophyll content, aboveground biomass, so...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key flux in the water cycle and has strong seasonal dynamics for forest ecosystems. Recently eddy flux covariance measurements are continuously taken at a temperate mixed forest in Northeastern China since 2002. In an effort to better understanding the factors that control the seasonal dynamics of ET, here we (1) calculate ecosystem-level water use efficiency (WUE) ...

Pan-sharpening is the process of fusing higher spatial resolution panchromatic (PAN) with lower spatial resolution multispectral (MS) imagery to create higher spatial resolution MS images. Here, our overall objective was to pan-sharpen Landsat-8 images and calculate vegetation greenness (i.e., normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)), canopy structure (i.e., enhanced vegetation index (EVI...

Black locust is the second-most-often planted tree worldwide, particularly for restoration plantations, but drought dieback and growth declines are being reported. Currently, we lack information on these ecosystems’ water carbon fluxes, in relation to climatic variability. Here, employed eddy covariance determine gross primary production (GPP) evapotranspiration (ET) of a black post-mining plan...
