Geospatial Technologies for Crops and Soils de Tarik Mitran

Geospatial Technologies for Crops and Soils

Editat de Tarik Mitran, Ram Swaroop Meena, Abhishek Chakraborty

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 oct 2021

Evoluția agriculturii moderne este marcată de trecerea de la metodele tradiționale de monitorizare la integrarea sistemelor informatice complexe, capabile să gestioneze variabilitatea spațială și temporală a resurselor. Considerăm că Geospatial Technologies for Crops and Soils reprezintă un răspuns tehnic necesar la provocările securității alimentare și ale schimbărilor climatice, oferind un cadru metodologic pentru optimizarea resurselor prin tehnologie. Lucrarea extinde cadrul propus de Geospatial Technologies in Land Resources Mapping, Monitoring and Management cu date noi din domeniul teledetecției prin microunde și al fluorescenței clorofilei, focalizându-se specific pe interacțiunea dintre biotipul culturii și calitatea solului.

Descoperim aici o structură riguroasă, organizată în 13 capitole ce urmează o progresie logică: de la bazele teoretice ale GIS și GPS în agricultura de precizie, la aplicații avansate precum spectropia imagistică și modelarea calității solului. Suntem de părere că relevanța acestui volum pentru curriculumul de agronomie și geografie constă în abordarea integrată a resurselor de apă subterană și a degradării terenurilor, oferind soluții digitale pentru probleme fizice concrete. Față de abordările din Geospatial Technologies for Agriculture, care se concentrează pe terenuri fragmentate și mici, acest volum oferă o perspectivă de ansamblu asupra proceselor biofizice ale culturilor, utilizând simulări de creștere și tehnici de recuperare a umidității solului prin satelit. Este o resursă esențială pentru înțelegerea modului în care datele spațiale pot minimiza costurile de producție și riscurile biotice.

Ram Swaroop Meena este cunoscut pentru contribuțiile sale extinse în cercetarea agronomiei și managementul resurselor naturale, aducând în acest volum o perspectivă critică asupra modului în care inovația tehnologică poate susține producția agricolă într-un climat în schimbare.

Descriere scurtă

The sustainable development of the agriculture sector is the only option to meet the demands of increased and economically viable production in a changing climate. This means there is a need to introduce the latest technologies to enhance production, and also help policymakers make decisions for the future. Geospatial technologies & tools, such as remote sensing, geographical information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and mobile & web applications, provide unique capabilities to analyze multi-scale, multi-temporal datasets, and support decision-making in sustainable agriculture development and natural resources management. Further, the availability of reliable and timely geospatial information on natural resources and environmental conditions is essential for sustainable agricultural development and food security. Since remote sensing solutions are fast, non-destructive and have large spatial coverage, they can play a significant role in the identification, inventory, and mapping of land resources. Over the past four decades, remote sensing has proved to be a cost-effective and powerful tool to assess crop and soil properties in varying spatial and temporal scales using both visual and digital techniques. Satellite remote sensing coupled with GIS & mobile-app based positional information has emerged as an efficient tool for optimizing input resources, and minimizing cost of production and risk of biotic/ abiotic factors nature to promote sustainable agriculture. This book comprehensively documents the applications of space-based technologies for crop and soil assessments for the sustainable development of agriculture.
