This study reviews the abundant research on FAO56 crop coefficients, published following
introduction of the FAO56 paper in 1998. The primary goal was to evaluate, update, and …

Emerging evidence showing trends in climate change with a strong likelihood those
changes will continue elevates the importance of finding affordable adaptations by irrigated …

Abstract The Midwestern United States, a region that produces one-third of maize and one-
quarter of soybean grain globally, is projected to experience increasing rainfall variability …

We applied a satellite remote sensing–based evapotranspiration (ET) algorithm to assess
global terrestrial ET from 1983 to 2006. The algorithm quantifies canopy transpiration and …

Evapotranspiration (ET) observations were made for 3years (2008–2010), using eddy
covariance (EC) systems and large aperture scintillometers (LAS), in typical underlying …

Crop phenology has been widely detected from multiple historical satellite observations.
Conversely, Near-Real-Time (NRT) monitoring of crop progress from timely available remote …

The water footprint of a crop (WF) is a common metric for assessing agricultural water
consumption and productivity. To provide an update and methodological enhancement of …

Abstract Knowledge of the extent and distribution of irrigated and rainfed croplands is critical
in providing the necessary baseline data for enhancing agricultural efficiency and making …

The crop developmental stage represents essential information for irrigation
scheduling/fertilizer management, understanding seasonal ecosystem carbon dioxide (CO2) …

Although the US accounts for 38% of global soybean production, and produces 85 Mt
annually, quantification of US soybean yield gaps and assessment of underpinning causes …
