Green fractional vegetation cover (fc) is an important phenotypic factor in the fields of
agriculture, forestry, and ecology. Spatially explicit monitoring of fc via relative vegetation …

Increasing human activities have caused significant global ecosystem disturbances at
various scales. There is an increasing need for effective techniques to quantify and detect …

The ecological impact of urban development and population increase is an area of
increasing relevance as human modification of the landscape continues unabated. The …

Environmental monitoring with satellite data is facilitated by frequent observations at a fine
spatial scale. As land surface temperature (LST) is one environmental key variable, we …

Land cover changes associated with urbanisation modify microclimate, leading to urban
heat islands, whereby cities are warmer than the surrounding countryside. Understanding …

Over the past ten years, plant phenoty** technologies that utilize sensing and data mining
approaches to estimate crop traits in a high-throughput and objective manner, have been …

Thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing of land-surface temperature (LST) provides valuable
information about the sub-surface moisture status required for estimating evapotranspiration …

Precision agriculture which facilitates and enables crop management through site-specific
recommendations, is essential to optimize agricultural inputs in space and time. In this study …

Land surface temperature (LST) is an important parameter highly responsive to surface
energy fluxes and has become valuable to many disciplines. Prior to the advent of satellites …
