The primary indicator of forage quality in any rangeland environment is grass nitrogen.
Remote sensing has been used to map grass quality by predicting nitrogen in order to …

The European Space Agency (ESA) has embarked on the development of the Sentinel
constellation. Sentinel-2 is intended to improve vegetation assessment at local to global …

Grass quality and quantity information plays a crucial role in understanding the distribution,
densities and population dynamics of herbivores (ie livestock and wildlife). Leaf nitrogen (N) …

Grassland plays an important role in German agriculture. The interplay of ecological
processes in grasslands secures important ecosystem functions and, thus, ultimately …

Land use and climate change could have huge impacts on food security and the health of
various ecosystems. Leaf nitrogen (N) and above-ground biomass are some of the key …

For the conservation of biodiversity in general and the monitoring of meadow birds in
particular, actual grassland-use intensity maps are highly desirable. A method to map and …

Quantifying the grass biomass content of rangelands is potentially useful to rangeland
managers. This study assessed the potential of image-derived vegetation indices to assess …

Grasslands are a source of goods and ecosystem services. It would therefore be helpful to
monitor grass growth and estimate grass productivity indicators in order to optimize …

Rangelands are natural ecosystems that serve as essential sources of forage for
domesticated livestock and wildlife. Therefore, accurately mapping nutrient levels in …

Rangelands are important fodder for livestock and wildlife, and provide a range of
ecosystem services to the environment. Foliar nutrients such as nitrogen, carbon, and plant …
