The groundwater quality research is one of the important and its pollution control was included insome research literatures. Ground water quality has spatial and temporal variation so classical statisticscould not account these variations at the regional scale researches. This study usedgeo-statisticalmethodsto optimize an interpolation method in order to estimate the spatial distribution of pH...

the estimation of pollution fields, especially in densely populated areas, is an important application in the field of environmental science due to the significant effects of air pollution on public health. in this paper, we investigate the spatial distribution of three air pollutants in tehran’s atmosphere: carbon monoxide (co), nitrogen dioxide (no2), and atmospheric particulate matters less ...

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla (Carr.) Mitford cv. Pubescens) is an important timber substitute in China. Site specific stand management requires an accurate estimate of soil organic carbon (SOC) stock for maintaining stand productivity and understanding global carbon cycling. This study compared ordinary kriging (OK) and inverse distance weighting (IDW) approaches to study the spatial ...

Methods of Land Use Regression (LUR) modeling and Ordinary Kriging (OK) interpolation have been widely used to offset the shortcomings of PM2.5 data observed at sparse monitoring sites. However, traditional point-based performance evaluation strategy for these methods remains stagnant, which could cause unreasonable mapping results. To address this challenge, this study employs 'information ent...

Annually much agricultural productions are lost by natural hazards such as flooding, extreme temperature, and drought. In this research we present a procedure to identify such hazards for rice cropping from remote sensing imagery. Extreme temperature is investigated by comparing actual temperatures with tolerance temperatures during the growing stage. Drought is investigated using the evapotran...

The world’s current task is to ensure food security for an ever-growing population of 7.674 billion in 2019. Soil degradation threatens sustainable agriculture arid and semi-arid climates, where evaporation rates outweigh precipitation. Soluble salts concentrated the subsoil under certain climatic conditions influence soil physicochemical properties, leading fertility biodiversity losses. Hence...

A crop height model (CHM) can be an important element of the decision making process in agriculture, because it relates well with many agronomic parameters, e.g., crop height, plant biomass or crop yield. Today, CHMs can be inexpensively obtained from overlapping imagery captured from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms or from proximal sensors attached to ground-based vehicles used for reg...

a simple but novel and applicable approach is proposed to solve the problem of smoothing effect of ordinary kriging estimate which is widely used in mining and earth sciences. it is based on transformation equation in which z scores are derived from ordinary kriging estimates and then rescaled by the standard deviation of sample data and the sample mean is added to the result. it bears the grea...
