Non-destructive crop monitoring over large areas with high efficiency is of great significance
in precision agriculture and plant phenotyping, as well as decision making with regards to …

Above ground biomass (AGB) is a parameter commonly used for assessment of grassland
systems. Destructive AGB measurements, although accurate, are time consuming and are …

Plant height is a key indicator of grass growth. However, its accurate measurement at high
spatial density with a conventional ruler is time-consuming and costly. We estimated grass …

Abstract Information on crop height, crop growth and biomass distribution is important for
crop management and environmental modelling. For the determination of these parameters …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is often heterogeneously distributed in arable fields and so is
probably its turnover. We hypothesized that the spatial patterns of SOC turnover are …

Primary productivity is a robust indicator of ecosystem functioning because of its close
relationships with the stability of the ecological systems. In ecological research, the above …

In this study, first results of retrieving plant heights of maize fields from multitemporal
TanDEM-X images are shown. Three TanDEM-X dual polarization spotlight acquisitions …

Aboveground biomass (AGB) is a parameter commonly used for assessing and monitoring
primary productivity of grassland communities. Destructive AGB measurements, although …

Crop monitoring and yield prediction over agricultural fields are critical to grain policy
making and food security in the context of climate change and population growth. Monitoring …
