Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The main objective of this Special Issue, based on the suggested topic of "Agrometeorology and Remote Sensing of Land–Atmosphere", is the environmental monitoring and recovery of agricultural soils and degraded areas. The aim is to determine agrometeorological and spectral parameters between the surface and atmosphere through surface meteorological data and from the use of geoprocessing and its geotechnologies, such as the sets of remote sensing techniques and satellite images, with a special focus on the multispectral monitoring of the spatio-temporal dynamics of land cover and use, especially of the arid and semiarid regions, which suffer from, among other things, the severe drought events and effects of desertification. Scientific advances in this sense will mainly subsidize studies of climate and environmental forecasts, agricultural monitoring, as well as studies of climate change and of land cover and use.

Photosynthesis is influenced by dynamic energy allocation under various environmental conditions. Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), an important pathway for dissipating absorbed energy, has been extensively used to evaluate gross primary productivity (GPP). However, the potential for photochemical reflectance index (PRI), as an indicator of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), to improve the SIF-based GPP estimation, has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, using continually tower-based observations, we examined how PRI affected the link between SIF and GPP for corn and soybean at half-hourly and daily timescales. The relationship of GPP to SIF and PRI is impacted by stress indicated by vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and crop water stress index (CWSI). Moreover, the ratio of GPP to SIF of corn was more sensitive to PRI compared to soybean. Whether in Pearson or Partial correlation analysis, the relationships of PRI to the ratio of GPP to SIF were almost all significant, regardless of controlling structural-physiological (stomatal conductance, vegetation indices) and environmental variables (light intensity, etc.). Therefore, PRI significantly affects the SIF–GPP relationship for corn (r > 0.31, p < 0.01) and soybean (r > 0.22, p < 0.05). After combining SIF and PRI using the multi-variable linear model, the GPP estimation has been largely improved (the coefficient of determination, abbreviated as R2, increased from 0.48 to 0.49 to 0.78 to 0.84 and the Root Mean Square Error, abbreviated as RMSE, decreased from 6.38 to 10.22 to 3.56 to 6.60 μmol CO2·m−2·s−1 for corn, R2 increased from 0.54 to 0.62 to 0.78 to 0.82 and RMSE decreased from 6.25 to 9.59 to 4.34 to 6.60 μmol CO2·m−2·s−1 for soybean). It suggests that better GPP estimations for corn and soybean can be obtained when SIF is combined with PRI. Full article

This study analyzed the seasonality of biophysical parameters in the extreme years of precipitation and the relationship with the monthly precipitation of the state of Pernambuco at the regional level (Pernambuco) and homogeneous precipitation zones: zone 1—semiarid, zone 2—transition and zone 3—coastal. For this, the biophysical parameters at the monthly level in the extreme years, 2004 (wet) and 2012 (dry) were related to precipitation data of 45 rainfall stations. Using the Google Earth Engine platform, we calculate the biophysical parameters with MODIS products: Albedo, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and surface temperature (ST). Considering the most critical period, between September and December, of a wet year (2004) with a dry year (2012), there is an average reduction of 14% of vegetation indices (NDVI, EVI and SAVI), a 60% reduction in NDWI, an increase of 4% in albedo and 3% in surface temperature. For monitoring the water conditions of the state of Pernambuco, the most appropriate biophysical parameter is the NDWI index and surface temperature. In addition to NDWI, it is recommended to use EVI for semiarid areas (zone 1) and ST for coastal areas (Zones 2 and 3). Full article
