Synopsis

Agricultural remote sensing has an enormous potential impact on agribusiness and the international commodity trade through the development of systems to monitor crops and yields on the national and international scale. This volume reviews the achievements of remote sensing in agriculture, establishes the current state-of-the-art and looks at future developments. The following themes are addressed - opportunities for remote sensing, principles of remote sensing as applied to agriculture, including logistic considerations and fundamental spectral characteristics of vegetation, the estimation of biomass and productivity, effects of stress and its detection, discrimination and monitoring and new techniques in applying remote sensing.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Applications of Remote Sensing in Agriculture contains the proceedings of the 48th Easter School in Agricultural Science, held at the University of Nottingham on April 3-7, 1989. The meeting invites 146 delegates from over 22 countries and contributions to this book come from nine countries. This book generally presents a review of the achievements of remote sensing in agriculture, establishes the state of the art, and gives pointers to developments. This text is organized into seven parts, wherein Parts I-III cover the principles of remote sensing, climate, soil, land classification, and crop inventories. Productivity; stress; techniques for agricultural applications; and opportunities, progress, and prospects in the field of remote sensing in agriculture are also discussed.
