Special Issue "Remote and Proximal Assessment of Plant Traits" - Remote Sensing
by Jez,Jakub March 19, 2020

March 19, 2020

FYI on behalf of Ittai Herrmann and Katja Berger. Best wishes, Jakub. --- Hello all, I hope you are all well. In case the topic of the special issue is in your scope and you consider paper submission, please let us know. Link to the special issue ----https://www.mdpi.com/journal/remotesensing/special_issues/Remote_Proximal Just to make it clear, this is an open access journal and therefore there is a publication fee - check the details on line- https://www.mdpi.com/journal/remotesensing/apc The scope of the special issue: ******************************************** Dear Colleagues, Plants are optically sensed by a variety of sensors and at different scales to answer diverse research questions and to meet practical challenges. Research in quantitative remote sensing starts at the organ scale moving to the entire plant, population, field, or biotope, up to data obtained from entire continents to explore global phenomena. The use of digital information has been abundantly exploited for more efficient cultivation of large areas and has become part of agricultural practices worldwide for irrigation and fertilization based on management zones. In addition, breeders are using high-throughput phenotyping in selection experiments for biotic and abiotic stresses as well as yield quantity and quality. Ecologists are using remotely sensed information to assess carbon footprint. Analyzing high-quality remote sensing observations is also challenging in view of upcoming hyperspectral spaceborne missions and their associated large data streams. Therefore, the development and adaptation of fast, effective, accurate, and generic retrieval algorithms for biophysical and biochemical traits is required. Methods should be provided on appropriate platforms and evaluated by plant physiologists, agronomists, and ecologists. This Special Issue strongly encourages contributions aimed at estimating the morpho-physiological and biochemical plant traits (e.g., plant height, LAI, biomass, nutrient contents, water status, pigment concentration, photosynthetic activity, disease resistance, yield prediction, pollutants detection) from Earth Observation data in agricultural and ecological contexts to support food security and sustainability. This Special Issue aims to cover a vast range of spatial resolutions (from continent to sub-leaf or root) and spectral resolutions (RGB, multi- and hyperspectral imagery, as well as point data). Besides diverse empirical and physically based retrieval approaches, “hybrid approaches” combining the generic properties of radiative transfer models with the flexibility and efficiency of nonlinear nonparametric methods (machine learning) are welcome. Moreover, time-series analysis related to plant traits assessment can be exploited. This Special Issue is expected to demonstrate recent progress and to discuss future perspectives in plant traits sensing.

Invitation: 2nd D-root meeting, 4th March, University of Vienna
by Jez,Jakub Feb. 26, 2020

Feb. 26, 2020

INVITATION: 2nd D-ROOT MEETING https://droot.info/ Date: 4th March 2020. Venue: University of Vienna, Althanstrasse 14, 1090 Vienna, UZA II, Seminar Room 2D404 Plant performance is strongly affected by environmental conditions. Subsequently, results of controlled conditions of the lab – “Pampered inside, pestered outside” – are often not suitable to translate back to field conditions. Besides phenotypically differences between lab- and field-grown plants, shoot and root environment must be considered. The D-root meeting was set up to bring scientist together to study the root system architecture (RSA) including the morphological as well as the molecular mechanisms of roots grown under more natural light conditions. First mentioned in 2015, the community working with the D-root device is strongly growing comprising researchers with basic and applied plant background working with Arabidopsis thaliana or cereals. This meeting brings scientist together to present, share and discuss new results and applications concerning experiments with dark-grown roots. Best wishes, Jakub.
