Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue calls for studies on remote sensing applications in crop irrigation and estimating the crop evapotranspiration and the corresponding site-specific irrigation (or variable rate irrigation, VRI). Manuscripts on remotely mapping soil moisture or the alternative, crop water stress, are also welcome. We also welcome papers presenting how to split and divide a crop field into dynamic management zones, with a focus on the changes during the irrigation season. We will consider critical reviews of agriculture applications of models such as the SEBAL, METRIC, ALEXI, and others as well as papers on the remote sensing applications relating to water use-efficiency and soil salinity. Contributions from the disciplines of aquatic agriculture, water quality, and remotely productivity estimations will also be considered.
Remote sensing platforms are no longer only satellite- or airborne-based, but also include drones, towers, robots, and any other platforms that can map entire agriculture fields. Further, we encourage studies representing applications integrating different sensors or platforms, or applications utilizing historical images to deliver updated information (for example, for cloudy pixels), and even to forecast the near future.
The results should be presented in tables and high-quality maps, but interactive material will also be considered. Please avoid very long papers and prioritize the original outputs.
Dr. Ofer Beeri
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
