Abstract:
The forth IPCC report pointed out grain production as one of the highest vulnerability by which climate change is expected to impart the most severe effects. The recent concern about food scarcity motivates the development of the present system named Remote Sensing Environmental Monitor (RSEM) for crop yield monitoring. The authors have developed a photosynthesis model for rice production to address such issues. The system includes a photo synthetic sterility yield model using meteorological re-analysis data and precise land use and cover (LULC) classification of crop field in Asian countries. The validation concept is based on the fact that the carbon hydrate in grains has the same chemical formula as cellulose in grain vegetation. The both photosynthesis and sterility models are validated by carbon partitioning method associated with particular rice species in Japan and China.
