Agriculture land appraisal analysis is an important component of the land market. This task is especially essential for Ukraine, which plans to lift the moratorium on land transactions and legalize farmland sales in 2021. Most post-Soviet countries adopted the notion of a soil bonitet—a quantitative score representing natural soil fertility. This s...

Crop rotation is an important determining factor of crop productivity. Sustainable agriculture requires correct rules of crop rotation. Failure to comply with these rules can lead to deterioration of soil biochemical characteristics and land degradation. In Ukraine as well as in many other countries, sunflower monocropping is common practice and th...

Question
I want to calculate Leaf Water Conten Index (LWCI) using Landsat or Sentinel data. I found several usefull formulas that use NIR and SWIR bands. But to estimate LWCI I have to have NIR and SWIR reflactance for the fully hydrated leaf and it is a problem. How to measure fully hydrated leaf reflactance or maybe I have to use some constants, but I need reference on them. Can any one help me with that problem? Many thanks!
