New academic paper out on the ARCfieldLAB project

This study evaluates the potential of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-based Ground-Penetrating Radar (UAV-GPR) for identifying buried features related to a suspected World War II (WWII) hiding place near Bornerbroekseweg, the Netherlands. The survey area is an active farmland …

This research involved revisiting an archaeological site in Siegerswoude, Friesland, the Netherlands, with a specific focus on remote sensing techniques. Remote sensing technology holds significant promise in archaeological research, providing a non-destructive method for archaeologists. Developed over …

Within the middle hills of Nepal, OPs were found to prescribe the same operations, irrespective of species composition, forest conditions, and forest management objectives. The OPs play little, if any, role in practical forest management. The combined use of remote sensing and GIS technologies can be …

To enhance our understanding of forest carbon sequestration, climate change mitigation and drought impact on forest ecosystems, the availability of high-resolution annual forest growth maps based on tree-ring width (TRW) would provide a significant advancement to the field. Site-specific characteristics, …

Klimaatverandering en de daarmee gepaard gaande frequente droogteperiodes (Spinoni et al., 2013) hebben de laatste jaren geleid tot verlies van vitaliteit in de Nederlandse bossen (Copini et al., 2022).Ook Douglas sparren hebben te maken gehad met verlies van vitaliteit en groei (Zoeteman, 2021). Om …

Global climate change will result in more extreme heat, drought, and rainfall. The urban environment is particularly vulnerable to these effects. Adaptation to these extreme weather conditions is difficult due to the high complexity of urban land-use patterns and stakeholder configurations. The current …

Forest inventories serve as a primary source for above-ground biomass and carbon stock estimations. These inventories, however, are costly and time-consuming especially over large areas with difficult terrain. Multiple remote sensing techniques can facilitate forest inventories with above-ground biomass …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) prediction from remote sensing is often hindered by disturbing factors at the soil surface, such as photosynthetic active and non–photosynthetic active vegetation, variation in soil moisture or surface roughness. With the increasing amount of freely available satellite data, …

Een rendabele teelt van suikerbieten wordt bedreigd door verschillende ziekten en plagen. Zo werd neonicotinoïden toegepast in gepileerd bietenzaad als noodzakelijke en effectieve bescherming tegen onder andere bladluizen en om virusinfecties tegen te gaan. In april 2018 is er een verbod ontstaan doordat …
