Estimation of Annual Productivity of Sown Rainfed Grasslands Using Machine Lear...
Morais, Tiago; Jongen, M.; Tufik, C.; Rodrigues, N.; Gama, I.; Serrano, João; Domingos, T.; Teixeira, R.Grasslands play a critical role in providing diverse ecosystem services. Sown biodiverse pastures (SBP) rich in legumes are an important agricultural innovation that increases grassland productivity and reduces the need for fertilisers. This study developed a machine learning model to obtain spatially explicit estimations of the productivity of SBP, based on field sampling data from five Portuguese farms during...
Satellite-based estimation of soil organic carbon in Portuguese grasslands
Morais, Tiago G.; Jongen, M.; Tufik, C.; Rodrigues, N.R.; Gama, I.; Serrano, João; Gonçalves, M.C.; Mano, R.; Domingos, T.; Teixeira, R.F.M.Introduction: Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is one of the main ecosystem services provided by well-managed grasslands. In the Mediterranean region, sown biodiverse pastures (SBP) rich in legumes are a nature-based, innovative, and economically competitive livestock production system. As a co-benefit of increased yield, they also contribute to carbon sequestration through SOC accumulation. However, SOC...
