Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

In the project we focused on two major objectives, (i) agro-ecosystem modelling on regional scale in the intensively used agricultural region of the Sanjiang Plain, Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China, and - within this context – (ii) to improve remote sensing data analysis of optical hyperspectral sensors and laser scanners to derive crop traits. In the context of this project, we proofed for the first time that UAV-based remote sensing data and terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) can be utilized for monitoring rice growth and height which is an estimator for rice biomass. The latter is important for estimating N uptake. We also investigated the potential of hyperspectral field data for crop trait estimation as well as for groundtruthing purposes of purchased satellite data. Furthermore, we linked satellite remote sensing data analysis with the DNDC model and improved satellite-based monitoring of rice nitrogen status. Originally, it was planned to extend the DANUBIA crop growth model for modelling rice growth in the study area. However, it was not possible to develop needed cultivar-specific parameters for the studied cultivars. During the project we faced several challenges, it was very difficult to use a terrestrial laser scanner in China. Due to data policy restriction, we could not use precise GPS equipment. The latter was also a problem for the UAV and fieldspectroradiometer data collection. We could not set up a proper proximal and remote sensing groundtruthing. However, thanks to the support of the Chinese project partners, it was a very productive and successful cooperation project.
