Evaluating the Patterns of Maize Development in the Hetao Irrigation Region Using the Sentinel-1 GRD SAR Bipolar Descriptor.

Assessing maize yield is critical, as it is directly influenced by the crop's growth conditions. Therefore, real-time monitoring of maize growth is necessary. Regular monitoring of maize growth indicators is essential for optimizing irrigation management and evaluating agricultural yield.

Optimal water and land resource allocation in pastoral areas based on a water-land forage-livestock balance: a case study of Otog Front Banner, Inner Mongolia, China.

Natural grasslands provide important land resources in pastoral areas, and greatly contribute to ecological functioning. Overgrazing and other unreasonable exploitations have led to the degradation and desertification of natural grasslands, exacerbating the forage-livestock imbalance. In areas suffering from water shortage, this imbalance gradually evolves into a water-land forage-livestock imbalance.
