Remote Sensing Of Soils And Vegetation In The Ussr

Draws together the recent research carried out in the fields of agriculture, geobiology, and ecology among others. It particularly includes material from the Soviet Union previously unavailable to researchers in the West.

Discussions on the fundamental understanding of the data, their processing and the technology involved in remote sensing as well as on its capabilities in various applied fields both in research and operational modes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

GlobalSoilMap: Digital Soil Mapping from Country to Globe contains contributions that were presented at the 2nd GlobalSoilMap conference, held 4-6 July 2017 in Moscow, Russian Federation. These contributions demonstrate new developments in the GlobalSoilMap project and digital soil mapping technology in many parts of the world, with special focus on former USSR countries. GlobalSoilMap: Digital Soil Mapping from Country to Globe aims to stimulate capacity building and new incentives to develop full GlobalSoilMap products in all parts of the world.
