Download or read book SAR Temporal Series Interpretation and Backscattering Modelling for Maize Growth Monitoring written by Éric Auquière and published by Presses univ. de Louvain. This book was released on 2001 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research objective is to develop a methodology for the extraction of bio- and geophysical variables from Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) and for their use in the perspective of maize monitoring in an operational context. SARs interest agronomists because they present some advantages for vegetation monitoring. However, the actual revisit cycle of SARs is not sufficient for crop monitoring. The image processing chain we developed overcomes this issue and meets the 4 requirements for operational crop monitoring: a high temporal resolution, a high geometric accuracy, a short processing time and the preservation of the signal content. From the literature, we know that the interactions between the signal backscattered by the vegetation and by the underlying soil are very complex. To understand these interactions, we carried out very intensive ground campaigns. The resulting data set is very rich. It covers 3 growing seasons during which 30 ERS SAR images and 13 RADARSAT SAR images were acquired and processed. In total, 612 fields, i.e. 581 maize fields and 31 sugar beet fields were located and visited. These field campaigns represent 2500 field visits and more or less 7500 measurements of 8 variables. One of the major outputs of this research comes from the analysis of the temporal behaviour of the SAR signal distribution at both field and regional levels. The SAR signal is analysed by the mean of the per-field backscattering coefficient. Previous results concerning the respective contribution of soil and crop are confirmed. The research also addresses the use of several regional indicators. We point out a drop of per-field variation coefficient averaged at regional level and we link it to the decrease of the infra-parcel variability of the soil roughness and to the progressive masking effect of the crop canopy on different sources of variability. The spatial variability of the ERS per-field backscattering coefficients is related to the variability of the sowing dates. Finally, existing and new versions of the cloud model are calibrated and validated. The cloud model is adapted to account for the data available from the field campaigns. The results show that SAR do not allow the prediction of the maize biomass at the field level but they can be used to give an indication on the crop status at a regional level.

This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost half of all life on earth may exist in the world's forest canopies. They may also play a vital role in maintaining the planet's climate, yet they remain largely unexplored owing to difficulties of access. They are renowned for their great diversity and role in forest functioning, yet there are still great gaps in the understanding of this `last biological frontier'. This seminal book shows how canopy science is now in a position to answer many of the outstanding questions, among which are some of the most pressing environmental issues society is presently facing. It represents a major summary of the current understanding of canopy ecology, and maps a path forward into a greater understanding of tropical forest ecology and management at a time when the very future of this ecosystem is threatened by humanity's actions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the natural resources of the earth continue to diminish, “Green Landscapes” arebeingcalleduponto produceanincreasingrangeofgoodsandservices.A Green Landscape is a rural expanse of scenery that may comprise a variety of visible f- tures. This book focuses on forested landscapes, although much of the theory and most of the practical applications are valid for any area of land. In many regions of the world, people depend on forests for their livelihood and well-being. Forests provide multiple services, – bene ts generated for society by the existence of c- tain forest ecosystems and their attributes. The value of these bene ts is often only recognised when they are lost after removal of the trees, resulting in ooding, loss of income and declining species diversity. Forests provide multiple services. However, the amount and quality, and the p- ticular mix of these services depend on the condition of the resource. Landscape design is a proven way to ensure that certain desired bene ts will be available in space and time. It provides the foundation and an essential starting point for s- tainable management. This volume, which forms part of Springer’s book series Managing Forest Ecosystems,presentsstate-of-the-artresearchresults,visionsandtheories,aswell as speci c methodsfor designing Green Landscapes, as a basis for sustainable ecos- tem management. The book contains a wealth of information which may be useful to companymanagement,the legal and policy environmentand forestry administ- tors. The volume is subdivided into four sections.
