Stratification: a Problem in Rangeland Monitoring

Resource stratification for ground-based and remotely-sensed methods of rangeland assessment is essential for locating appropriate sampling sites. This is particularly the case when site comparisons are required, as in the case of grazing gradient analysis, wherein the objective is to limit the number of environmental variables. This study compared stratified units derived from supervised, unsu...

Control Performance Monitoring { a Review and Assessment

In this paper we present an overview of current status of control performance monitoring using minimum variance principles. Extensions to PID-achievable performance assessment, trade-oo between performance and robustness, and trade-oo between de-terministic and stochastic performance objectives are discussed. Future directions are pointed out for research and practice with regard to root-cause ...

Field Validation of Biomass Retrieved from Landsat for Rangeland Assessment and Monitoring

Spatial measures of terrestrial biomass that are accurate and repeatable are important to monitoring landscape condition and modeling productivity in the world’s grassland and savanna (i.e., rangeland) ecosystems. Remote sensing offers potential to characterize seasonal changes in biomass in a consistent and non-destructive manner. A high degree of structural and spatial heterogeneity [1] and i...
