More and more attention has been paid to farmland water conservancy project (FWCP) maintenance in China, which can reallocate water resources in a more rational and efficient manner. Compared with the traditional survey such as field survey, FWCP maintenance can be improved efficiently with geospatial technology. To improve the level of FWCP maintenance in China, a collaborative sensing system framework by integrating satellite, aerial, and ground remote sensing is put forward. The structure of the system framework includes three sections, namely the data acquisition, the operational work, and the application and service. Through the construction and operation of such collaborative sensing system, it will break through the limitation of any single remote sensing platform and provide all-around and real-time information on FWCP. The collaborative monitoring schemes for the designed FWCP maintenance can engage ditch riders to maintain more effectively, which will enable them to communicate more specifically with smallholders in the process of irrigation. Only when ditch riders and farmers are fully involved, irrigation efficiency will be improved. Furthermore, the collaborative sensing system needs feasible standards for multi-source remote sensing data processing and intelligent information extraction such as data fusion, data assimilation, and data mining. In a way, this will promote the application of remote sensing in the field of agricultural irrigation and water saving. On the whole, it will be helpful to improve the traditional maintenance problems and is also the guarantee for establishing a long-term scientific management mechanism of FWCP maintenance in developing countries, especially in China.

A new wheeled vehicle had been developed for crop close proximity monitoring of Miscanthus, which could be one of the most potential candidate of bioenergy crop, and have been paid attention nowadays. The new vehicle employed 4WD-4WS system. And 3x3x3 meters steel frame structure was especially designed for tall crops as Miscanthus. The new data acquisition vehicle makes data sampling much convenient and efficient without huge labor consumption. The data acquired by remote sensing system on the platform could increases the spatial, spectral and temporal resolution of the crop remote sensing data significantly, comparing to satellite and aerial remote sensing system.

Remote sensing data have been widely used in the study of large-scale vegetation activities, which have important significance in estimating grassland yields, determining grassland carrying capacity, and strengthening the scientific management of grasslands. Remote sensing data are also used for estimating grazing intensity. Unfortunately, the spatial distribution of grazing-induced degradation remains undocumented by field observation, and most previous studies on grazing intensity have been qualitative. In our study, we tried to quantify grazing intensity using remote sensing techniques. To achieve this goal, we conducted field experiments at Gansu Province, China, which included a meadow steppe and a semi-arid region. The correlation between a vegetation index and grazing intensity was simulated, and the results demonstrated that there was a significant negative correlation between NDVI and relative grazing intensity (p < 0.05). The relative grazing intensity increased with a decrease in NDVI, and when the relative grazing intensity reached a certain level, the response of NDVI to relative grazing intensity was no longer sensitive. This study shows that the NDVI model can illustrate the feasibility of using a vegetation index to monitor the grazing intensity of livestock in free-grazing mode. Notably, it is feasible to use the remote sensing vegetation index to obtain the thresholds of livestock grazing intensity.

Current satellite remote sensing data still have some inevitable defects, such as a low observing frequency, high cost and dense cloud cover, which limit the rapid response to ground changes and many potential applications. However, passenger aircraft may be an alternative remote sensing platform in emergency response due to the high revisit rate, dense coverage and low cost. This paper introduces a volunteered passenger aircraft remote sensing method (VPARS) for emergency response. It uses the images captured by the passenger volunteers during flight. Based on computer vision algorithms and geocoding procedures, these images can be processed into a mosaic orthoimage for rapid ground disaster mapping. Notable, due to the relatively low flight latitude, small clouds can be easily removed by stacking multi-angle tilt images in the VPARS method. A case study on the 2019 Guangdong flood monitoring validates these advantages. The frequent aircraft revisit time, intensive flight coverage, multi-angle images and low cost of the VPARS make it a potential way to complement traditional remote sensing methods in emergency response.

A local archive and a system for cataloging satellite data from Russian spacecraft that are received by the FRC KSC SB RAS through the services of the Roscosmos Geoportal have been developed. An automated system for remote sensing data preprocessing has been created, which significantly simplifies access to information, implements search services and web visualization of images registered in the catalog. Practical experience in operating the system has revealed a number of shortcomings of the existing Roscosmos data distribution system. Presented data on the execution of the Roscosmos satellite survey order in 2019 they show that the capabilities of the Russian remote sensing system are very limited, and a significant part of the planned research work has not been implemented due to the lack of ordered satellite data.

Conversion of native vegetation into farmed grassland in the Lake Taupo catchment commenced in the late 1950s. The lake's iconic value is being threatened by the slow decline in lake water quality that has become apparent since the 1970s.
