Hyperarid, arid, semiarid, and dry subhumid areas cover approximately 41% of the global land area. The human population in drylands, currently estimated at 2.7 billion, faces limited access to sufficient, affordable, nutritious food. We discuss interlinkages among water security, environmental energy economic health food security governance, how they affect drylands. Reliable adequate supply, prevention contamination, increase potential for ample food, fodder, fiber production. Protecting...
Agricultural land systems are the result of human interactions with natural environment, and subjective evidence socio-economic environmental has been demonstrated. Nevertheless, it is still difficult to analyze empirically link between agricultural market policy, as well response due changes in crop management by local stakeholders. In this study, we propose a cross investigation analysis bring vegetation cover, farmer’s behavior light. Our methodology combination rational positive...
An automatic soil moisture retrieval algorithm from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) over agricultural bare and vegetated fields is investigated. The work carried out in the framework of CLEXIDRA project funded by Italian Space Agency (ASI).Soil based on (i) multi-frequency polarimetric SAR data L- (SAOCOM), X- (COSMO-SkyMed both First Second generation) C-band (Sentinel-1) integration (ii) scattering models inversion; (iii) Bayesian minimization machine learning techniques; (iv) biomass...
In this paper, the results obtained by applying two polarimetric SAR decompositions to a time-series of L-band radar data, in terms scattering contributions, are compared with simulations Tor Vergata electromagnetic model. The objective was evaluate capability single out those mechanisms mostly correlated soil moisture or vegetation. We performed analysis using full-polarimetric SAOCOM-1A data acquired over an agricultural region Monte Buey site (Córdoba Province, Argentina) and considering...
