Understanding of the effect of climate change on ecosystems is of great importance.
Drought has wreaked havoc to human societies throughout history. Drought is usually caused by a multitude of factors starting from the deficit of precipitation when compared to climatic mean.
Thermal remote sensing is a type of passive remote sensing since that detects naturally emitted radiation. Most thermal remote sensing for vegetation conducted in the 8-14 μm wavelengths.
To inform policymakers about the agricultural landscapes and food production, accurate and timely monitoring of crop type is required.
Farmers, agronomists, private enterprise and policy-makers need to know field conditions with sufficient early-warning.
LAI is one of the most critical vegetation biophysical variables as well as remote sensing- enabled essential biodiversity variables due to the controlling role of green leaves in biological and ph
Primary production is the growth or accumulated rate of biomass in plants.
In recent years, the Greater Horn of Africa has suffered from prolonged droughts, associated with forced migration and food and water security issues.
Climate change is nowadays prominently present on the political and thus scientific agenda, which is reflected in the Dutch Delta-Programme for Spatial Adaptation (“Delta-Programma Ruimtelijke Adap
