A volume in the three-volume Remote Sensing Handbook series, Land
Resources Monitoring, Modeling, and Mapping with Remote Sensing
documents the scientific and methodological advances that have
taken place during the last 50 years. The other two volumes in the
series are Remotely Sensed Data Characterization, Classification,
and Accuracies, and Remote Sensing of Water Resources, Disasters,
and Urban Studies. In true handbook style, the chapters in the
volume have been carefully selected, organized, and designed to be
self-contained so that you can focus on a chapter and read it
through without having to be overly dependent on other chapters.
This volume provides comprehensive theoretical and practical
coverage of remote sensing of land resources that include
vegetation and biomass, agricultural croplands, rangelands,
phenology and food security, forests, biodiversity, ecology, land
use\land cover, carbon, and soils. Highlights include: Global
terrestrial carbon and carbon budgets Precision farming
Agricultural systems studies and soil studies Global croplands,
agricultural croplands, and rangelands Food security analysis
Biodiversity Land use and land cover mapping Measuring
photosynthesis from space Vegetation characterization and above
ground biomass measurements and modeling Hyperspectral remote
sensing Ecological studies Tropical forest characterization Habitat
mapping and monitoring In a very practical way, the book
demonstrates the experience, utility, methods, and models used in
studying a wide array of land applications. Considered magnum opus
on the subject, the three-volume Remote Sensing Handbook is edited
by Dr. Prasad S. Thenkabail, a renowned interna
