My research leverages remote sensing to utilize vegetation status as a rainfall indicator, helping farmers in data-scarce areas make timely irrigation decisions and conserve precious water resources.
The European BioDivERSA project investigates frequently used agro-environmental and climate-environmental measures for their added value in conserving and promoting biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.
