Vegetation Dynamics and Crop Stress: An Earth-Observation Perspective focuses on vegetation dynamics and crop stress at both the regional and country levels by using earth observation (EO) data sets. The book uniquely provides a better understanding of natural vegetation and crop failure through geo-spatial technologies. This book covers biophysical control of vegetation, deforestation, desertification, drought, and crop-water efficiency, as well as the application of satellite-derived measures from optical, thermal, and microwave domains for monitoring and modeling crop condition, agricultural drought, and crop health in contrasting monsoon/weather episodes. – Provides a quantitative analysis of vegetation and crop stress based on EO datasets- Offers descriptions of the spatially explicit vegetation and crop model development, implementation, and validation- Covers the impact of soil-water stress on crop performance and vegetation response to climate change using earth observation techniques
