Monitoring Spatiotemporal Vegetation Response to Drought Using Remote Sensing Data.

Environmental factors such as drought significantly influence vegetation growth, coverage, and ecosystem functions. Hence, monitoring the spatiotemporal vegetation responses to drought in a high temporal and adequate spatial resolution is essential, mainly at the local scale. This study was conducted to investigate the aspatial and spatial relationships between vegetation growth status and drought in the southeastern South Dakota, USA.

Predicting soil nutrient contents using Landsat OLI satellite images in rain-fed agricultural lands, northwest of Iran.

Soil nutrients are the key factors in soil fertility, which have important roles in plant growth. Determining soil nutrient contents, including macro and micronutrients, is of crucial importance in agricultural productions. Conventional laboratory techniques for determining soil nutrients are expensive and time-consuming.
