Estimation of Biophysical Variables from Satellite Observations

The supply of biophysical variables derived from satellite observations serves several applications related to agriculture, the environment, resource management and the climate. Moreover, these same variables may be acquired at a range of scales:. -at the very local level, the use of precision agriculture allows adapting cultural practices to the spatial variability of the plot;-across the landscape or territory, to manage the environment and natural resources;-at the continental or global scale for the study of climate, biogeochemical cycles and vegetation dynamics.
