Spatiotemporal dynamics of rhizosphere soil water, temperature and salinity under various drip irrigation regimes and their effects on cotton biomass formation

Optimizing drip irrigation regimes is critical for managing the rhizosphere soil environment and enhancing cotton productivity in arid regions. A two-year field experiment (2023–2024) was conducted in northern Xinjiang, China, with four irrigation levels (60%, 80%, 100%, and 120%...

Estimation of field-scale crop evapotranspiration from the mechanistic SIF-ET model using the UAV hyperspectral imagery

Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) is critical for agricultural water management and understanding land-atmosphere interactions. Conventional thermal and optical remote sensing is a powerful tool for ET estimation, but existing methods remain constrained by empirical...
