Abstract:Agriculture is one of the most important and popular fields of remote sensing applications. The purpose of this paper is to review the advances of research and application in remote sensing for agriculture in the world. The review includes following six main aspects: cropland radiative transfer mechanism and remote sensing inversion of crop parameters, remote sensing classification and identification of crops, cropland nutrient and variable fertilization techniques, crop yield and quality perdition, agricultural disaster monitoring and forecasting, and spatial decision making support system for agricultural remote sensing monitoring. Finally, the key directions needed more attention and technical breakthrough are figured out according to the current status and trends of agricultural remote sensing techniques. |
Transactions of the Chinese Society for Agriculture Machinery (CSAM), in charged of China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), sponsored by CSAM and Chinese Academy of Agricultural Mechanization Science(CAAMS), started publication in 1957. It is the earliest interdisciplinary journal in Chinese which combines agricultural and engineering. It always closely grasps the development direction of agriculture engineering disciplines and the published papers represent the highest academic level of agriculture engineering in China. Currently, nearly 8,000 papers have been already published. There are around 3,000 papers contributed to the journal each year, but only around 600 of them will be accepted. Transactions of CSAM focuses on a wide range of agricultural machinery, irrigation, electronics, robotics, agro-products engineering, biological energy, agricultural structures and environment and more. Subjects in Transactions of the CSAM have been embodied by many internationally well-known index systems, such as: EI Compendex, CA, CSA, etc.
