Determination Of Wetland Vegetation Height With Lidar, Levent Genç, Bon Dewitt, Scot Smith
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is a new technology that offers a potential alternative to field surveying and photogrammetric techniques for the collection of elevation data. It has the advantages of being rapid accurate and able to map areas that are difficult to access. LIDAR has demonstrated the capability to accurately estimate important vegetation structural characteristics such as forest canopy height. For these reasons, airborne LIDAR data were used to compare vegetation height determinations with field observations on one selected transect in the vicinity of Lake Hatchineha in Florida, USA. The approach was based on the LIDAR and field measurements. …
Estimation Of The Effect Of Soil Salinity On Crop Yield Using Remote Sensing And Geographic Information System, Mehmet Ali̇ Çullu
Estimation Of The Effect Of Soil Salinity On Crop Yield Using Remote Sensing And Geographic Information System, Mehmet Ali̇ Çullu
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
This study was conducted to estimate the effect of salinity on crop yield by employing a geographical information system (GIS) and remote sensing technologies. The saline soils of Arıcan village, located in the southeastern part of Harran Plain, were studied. Surface soil samples representing each soil series in the study area were collected and analyzed to generate an electrical conductivity (EC) map of the study area soils. Using ground truth information, satellite images were classified and land use classes were determined in the study area. The EC map, land use map, soil map and parcel map were combined and analyzed …
