TL;DR: This work compares NDVI surveys performed with UAV, aircraft and satellite, to assess the capability of each platform to represent the intra-vineyard vegetation spatial variability and results indicate that the different platforms provide comparable results in vineyards characterized by coarse vegetation gradients and large vegetation clusters.

TL;DR: The use of UAVs in forestry will increase, possibly leading to a regular utilization for small-scale monitoring purposes in Europe when recent technologies (i.e. hyperspectral imagery and lidar) and methodological approaches will be consolidated.

TL;DR: In this article, a new design of free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) is presented that has been used to expose a poplar plantation to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations in otherwise unaltered conditions, in the open.

TL;DR: The BLLAST (Boundary-Layer Late Afternoon and Sunset Turbulence) field campaign was conducted from 14 June to 8 July 2011 in southern France, in an area of complex and heterogeneous terrain this article.

TL;DR: The CEFLES2 campaign as discussed by the authors was designed to provide simultaneous airborne measurements of solar induced fluorescence and CO2 fluxes, combined with extensive ground-based quantification of leaf and canopy-level processes in support of ESA's Candidate Earth Explorer Mission of the "Fluorescence Explorer" (FLEX).
