Precision agriculture dates back to the middle of the 1980's. Remote sensing applications in
precision agriculture began with sensors for soil organic matter, and have quickly diversified …

The growing interest in the maintenance of favorable soil structure is largely motivated by its
central role in plant growth, soil ecological functioning, and impacts on surface water and …

This chapter reviews proximal soil sensing (PSS). Our intent is for it to be a source of up-to-
date information on PSS, the technologies that are currently available and their use for …

The PRISMA satellite is equipped with an advanced hyperspectral Earth observation
technology capable of improving the accuracy of quantitative estimation of bio-geophysical …

Site-specific management promotes the identification and management of areas within the
field, which represent subfield regions with homogeneous characteristics (management …

Map** and monitoring soil spatial variability is particularly problematic for temporally and
spatially dynamic properties such as soil salinity. The tools necessary to address this classic …

Since both the spatial and vertical heterogeneities in soil properties have an impact on crop
growth and yield, accurate characterization of soil properties at high sampling resolution is a …

Site-specific management demands the identification of subfield regions with homogeneous
characteristics (management zones). However, determining subfield areas is difficult …

Monitoring heavy metals (HMs) across source distance and depth distribution near coal
mining sites is essential for preventing environmental pollution and health risks. This study …

Key features: Unique in its combination of serving as an introduction to spatial statistics and
to modeling agricultural and ecological data using R Provides exercises in each chapter to …
