Book (stand-alone)Seasonal mapping of crop types and water use in Northern Gaza Strip: insights from remote sensing and field surveys (2021–2023) 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This study focuses on assessing crop productivity and water use efficiency in the northern region of Gaza through remote sensing and field measurements. It aims to accurately map and identify crop types in the study areas using remote sensing data, including satellite imagery and in situ measurements. The objective of this study is to conduct crop type mapping and water consumption mapping based on evapotranspiration (ET). Calculating evapotranspiration alone does not give definitive indicators, because it does not calculate leaching requirements of crops, nor does it calculate the efficiency of irrigation systems using remote sensing techniques. The study covers the period from 2021 to 2023 and focuses on the summer and winter seasons in East Gaza city (Al-Shujaia), Beit Hanoun and East Jabalia North Gaza. -
Book (stand-alone)How much do large-scale and small-scale farming contribute to global deforestation?
Results from a remote sensing pilot approach
2023Also available in:
No results found.The study presented in this document expands on the work conducted during the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) 2020 Remote Sensing Survey (RSS) and revisits the extensive dataset of areas where deforestation occurred over periods 2000–2010 and 2010–2018 to subclassify and assess deforestation drivers. Notably, considering the importance it would have in designing appropriate strategies for halting deforestation, the study assesses the share of agriculture-driven deforestation linked to small-scale and large-scale farming, both for cropping and livestock systems. The goal was not only to further characterize the global deforestation drivers in 2000–2018 but also to identify methods and tools that can help in exploring the deforestation drivers using Earth Observation – by adding more options to the original FRA RSS query and by trying to define subjective characteristics of the activities. -
Book (stand-alone)Global forest land-use change from 1990 to 2010: an update to a global remote sensing survey of forests 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Monitoring the Earth’s global forest resources is important. This note presents the latest results for the extent of forest-land and changes in forest land use for the time period 1990 to 2010. The work is the result of a partnership between FAO, its member countries and the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC).
