چکیده
Agroforestry systems (AFS) can provide positive ecosystem services while at the same time stabilizing yields under increasingly common drought conditions. The effect of distance to trees in alley cropping AFS on yield-related crop parameters has predominantly been studied using point data from transects. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer a novel possibility map plant traits with high spatial resolution and coverage. In present study, UAV-borne red, green, blue (RGB) multispectral imagery was utilized for prediction whole dry biomass yield (DM) leaf area index (LAI) barley three different conventionally managed silvoarable agroforestry sites located Germany. DM LAI were modelled random forest regression models good accuracies (DM: R² 0.62, nRMSEp 14.9%, LAI: 0.92, 7.1%). Important variables included normalized reflectance, vegetation indices, texture height. Maps produced model predictions analysis, showing significant effects LAI. Spatial patterns differed greatly between sampled suggested management soil overriding tree across large portions 96 m wide alleys, thus questioning alleged impacts rows distribution intensively populations. Models based proved be valuable tool accuracies, revealing variability

Remote Sensing of Mountain Birch Forest Biomass and Leaf Area Index Using ASTER Data
Suitability of ASTER satellite data for estimating biomass and LAI for mountain birch forests was investigated. The field data consisted of 124 plots surveyed in northernmost Finland in July 2004. The statistical relationships between the field measurements and ASTER reflectances were modelled using canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and reduced major axis (RMA) regression. The models were ap...

متن کاملRelationship between leaf area index and yield in double-crop and full-season soybean systems.
Previous research indicates a correlation between leaf area index (LAI) and yield of full-season soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill], which is a single crop planted early in the season. Leaf area index values of at least 3.5-4.0 in the reproductive stages are required for maximum potential yield. It is unknown how yields of double-crop soybean, which is planted late into harvested small grain fi...

Monitoring crop condition and production estimates at the state and county level is of great interest to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture conducts field interviews with sampled farm operators and obtains crop cuttings to make crop yield estimates at regional and state levels. NASS needs supplemental sp...
متن کاملMapping Spatial Variability of Soil Salinity Using Remote Sensing Data and Geostatistical Analysis: A Case of Shadegan, Khuzestan
Extended abstract 1- Introduction Soil salinity is one of the most important desertification parameters in many parts of the world. Thus, preparing soil salinity maps in macro scales is necessary. Water and soil salinity as one of the contributing parameters in desertification, cause soil and vegetation degradation. Soil salinization represents many negative effects on the earth systems such ...
