In many places, atmospheric moisture depends on the storage of water in the soil.

Another major gap will still persist in the monitoring of soil moisture.

Soils whose moisture content evolves differently during the year may be differentiated using multiple date images.

Radar observation can also be used for soil studies (particularly for soil humidity measurements), an area in which INTA has long and valuable experience.

Background information on structure and or content In table 5 (II), Parties may choose to report N2O emissions from the drainage of soils from two land use categories, Forest Land and Wetlands, for both organic and mineral soils, if they wish to do so.

The scatterometer was applied for mapping snow and ice morphology over Antarctica and for soil moisture mapping over the Canadian Prairies.

(c) Agriculture and forestry, including forest inventory and monitoring (especially mapping of old growth forests and forestry on hilly areas) crop identification and monitoring harvest forecasting crop suitability soil classification (with emphasis on soil moisture and soil suitability measurements) mangrove cover and land cover

This characteristic makes radar imagery especially useful in differentiating areas of dry from moist soil and in the identification of vegetated zones often characterized by high humidity that would give rise to a strong radar response.

There are some experimental methods of obtaining soil moisture values indirectly from satellite microwave data, but they are far from operational.

In principle, such inventories of vegetation, soil composition and moisture are perfect tools for further detailed monitoring of desertification.

(e) Application of radar data (ERS SAR) for soil moisture assessment (in cooperation with the European Space Agency ESA pilot project).

For example, whereas wet season images would be useful for determining vegetative cover, they were less useful for mapping landforms and soils.

Good earth. Rich earth.

That is, that there are chambers inside, they line the walls of the chambers with moist soil and it dries to a kind of an adobe like surface in it.

The Ramsar Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP) is developing a series of indicators to monitor the state of the world's wetlands, these indicators taking into consideration the quality of soils around the wetlands.

The report provides a good snapshot of some of the major soil degradation problems. The paper also highlighted the importance of soil organic matter and how the decline of soil organic matter is accelerating salinity problems as well as fertility problems.

The soil here is fertile.

Then, if we added maps like the geology, the bedrock geology, and the surface geology, what the glaciers leave, if we make the soil map, with the 17 soil classes, that are defined by the National Conservation Service, if we make a digital elevation model of the topography that tells us how high the hills were, then we can calculate the slopes.

We've talked about the soil erosion.

This is very good soil.

Some countries predicted a reduction of soil humidity by up to 30 per cent, thus increasing the arid areas by 33 per cent (e.g. Armenia), whereas others expected a decline in wheat production by 27 per cent (e.g. Kazakhstan) and land degradation from saltwater intrusion (e.g. Mauritius).

No standards exist for density of planting, soils, or planting material for fruit and vegetables.

Soil protection can be maximized through the use of direct sowing methods for energy crops.

The two other options are 20 2 C and 65 2 r.h. or 27 2 C and 65 2 r.h.

The number and types of impacts in this sector included productivity yield of crops, effects on soil moisture, and incidence of pests and spread of infectious diseases, as well as effects on the length of the growing season, carbon fertilization and productivity of pastures and livestock.

I've been building topsoil.

This is how soil is created.

Intensive farming is depleting soils.
