Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing fine beam RADARSAT-1 backscatter from a white mangrove ( Laguncularia racemosa (Gaertner)) canopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the backscatter coefficients (σ°) were examined in relation to structural parameter data collected from plots located in a mangrove forest of the Mexican Pacific.
Journal ArticleDOI
On-farm spatial characterization of soil mineral nitrogen, crop growth, and yield of canola as affected by different rates of nitrogen application
Aruna Herath,Bao-Luo Ma,Jiali Shang,Jiangui Liu,Taifeng Dong,Xianfeng Jiao,John M. Kovacs,Dan Walters +7 more
TL;DR: The strong associations between SMN and crop parameters or yield provided a substantial evidence for implementing in-season variable rate N application, indicating significant spatial variability in N availability at the field- and strip-scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the Options to Improve Regional Wheat Yield in Eastern Canada Using the CSM–CERES–Wheat Model
Qi Jing,Budong Qian,Jiali Shang,Ted Huffman,Jiangui Liu,Elizabeth Pattey,Taifeng Dong,Nicolas Tremblay,Craig F. Drury,Bao-Luo Ma,Guillaume Jégo,Xianfeng Jiao,John M. Kovacs,Dan Walters,Jinfei Wang +14 more
Journal ArticleDOI

Taifeng Dong,Jiali Shang,Jiangui Liu,Budong Qian,Qi Jing,Bao-Luo Ma,Ted Huffman,Xiaoyuan Geng,Abdoul Sow,Yichao Shi,Francis Canisius,Xianfeng Jiao,John M. Kovacs,Dan Walters,Jeff Cable,Jeffrey H. Wilson +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, multispectral RapidEye images were used to delineate homogeneous zones of soil and crop development in two fields in Ontario, Canada, one planted with canola (Brassica napus L.) and the other with spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the utility of a portable pocket instrument for estimating seasonal mangrove leaf chlorophyll contents
TL;DR: The strong relationship observed between the readings from the portable ccm-200 and the pigment content suggest that the handheld c cm-200 can be a portable cost-effective tool for quickly predicting chla and tchl content for a range of mangrove forests.
