    “Irrigation plays a critical role in global food production and climate adaptation and exercises profound influence over humanity's water use. Yet despite its critical importance, there is a persistent lack of understanding of fine-scale irrigation patterns across the planet, knowledge which is essential for informing global food security and sustainability targets. Utilizing either statistical downscaling or remote sensing approaches, existing global irrigation datasets are constrained by coarse spatial resolutions, a lack of timeliness, or varying robustness and reliability. To address this gap, here [they] integrate[d] multi-source Earth observation and environmental datasets and use[d] machine learning to develop a medium-resolution (30 metre) global irrigated area dataset for the 2023/24 growing season. Within existing cropland extent, we leverage a newly compiled set of georeferenced irrigated (N=230,683) and non-irrigated (N=153,194) ground-truth points and integrate seasonal vegetation metrics derived from Landsat 8/9 imagery with agroecological-zone information and hydroclimatic and topographic variables. [They] subsequently develop and evaluate two machine-learning frameworks, a continental Agro-Ecological Zone (AEZ) tile-based framework and a continental-scale framework, and apply the best-performing approach for each continent. Evaluation using held-out test samples yielded a global accuracy of 80.5 ± 2.1%. The resulting maps were also validated against independent global and national irrigation datasets and statistics, demonstrating broad agreement in the spatial distribution of irrigated areas. This approach is robust and reliable because it is built on a harmonized global ground-truth database, incorporates multiple predictors, and is rigorously validated using independent datasets. All code, ground-truth, and data products are freely and publicly available [link above] and can serve as a robust, scale-neutral, and fully reproducible framework for fine-resolution irrigation mapping. These advances provide the critical and long-needed foundation for near-real-time monitoring and early warning systems, and fine-scale land and water resource management…”

    Optical, Radar, And Hybrid Indices To Detect Farming Practices In Europe
    --
    doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2026.115 <-- shared paper
    --
    “HIGHLIGHTS:
    • [they] compare[d] Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 time series to detect farming practices.
    • HyBRIS index is introduced, temporally weighting BSI and VH/VV into a daily index.
    • Time-series minima and maxima are used to predict sowing, harvest, and tillage.
    • Validation is performed across several years, crop types, and European locations.
    • Phenology detection is improved compared to HRL-Cropland.
    ABSTRACT: Arable farming practices dictate both crop cycles and soil dynamics, and are central to agriculture's environmental impact and its mitigation. Sowing and harvesting mark the beginning and end of the growing season, while tillage modifies soil structure during the dormant period. Although well-established methods exist for delineating the growing season using phenology and optical data, the detection of farming practices, particularly tillage, remains underexplored. This study investigates the strengths of radar and optical data to retrieve sowing, harvest, and tillage dates at the field level, and proposes a novel Hybrid Bare Soil Radar Index (HyBRIS). Based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2, HyBRIS merges optical and radar data into a single index using a temporally weighted mean. Local minima and maxima of the time series are used to detect farming practices across European sites. Validation is carried out against a reference dataset comprising 238 fields in 11 EU countries, including 462 sowing, 374 harvest, and 388 tillage events covering more than 40 crop types over 8 years. Compared to the Copernicus High Resolution Layer Croplands product (HRL-Cropland), the proposed method based on HyBRIS time series improved sowing and harvest dates detection (MAE 26 and 23 days, respectively). Additionally, this method enabled tillage dates estimation during dormant periods (MAE = 28 days), but tended to overestimate the number of tillage events (producer's accuracy = 97%, user's accuracy = 70%). Incorporating soil moisture data is advised for reducing false positives. The results highlight the potential of optical, radar, and hybrid indices for monitoring agricultural management and supporting environmental stewardship…”

    🌱 #EvoLand C5 candidate prototype develops high-resolution Gross Primary Productivity data (10-daily, 10 m) for #grassland and #cropland across Europe.

    🌡️ A key improvement is the refined drought and temperature stress component, which better captures the impact of extreme weather on vegetation productivity.

    The #genocide committed by #Israel in #Gaza continues.

    Here's what "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part" means, there:

    • 1.9 million people displaced, 90% of the population

    • 84% of Gaza now under evacuation orders

    • 745,000 people facing emergency levels of food insecurity, including 495,000 facing an extreme lack (#famine).

    • 995,000 people suffering from acute #respiratory #infections, 577,000 with acute watery diarrhea

    • 20 out of 36 #hospitals out of service

    • 21 more military strikes against schools that serve as shelters, since July 1st; as of today, 85% of all school buildings directly hit or damaged

    • 485 #health workers killed, with a further 283 #aid workers

    • 65% of the road network damaged

    • In August, one third of all humanitarian #missions applied for from Israel have been declined, so far

    • 66% of all #cropland and 33% of the #greenhouse area are damaged, 60-70% of all #livestock has been killed or prematurely slaughtered

    This is what you get when a single nation like the #US has the power to protect the openly genocidal government of #Israel under #Netanyahu from any consequences.

    You might consider donating to #UNICEF, to save toddlers and kids in #Gaza, rather than seeing your hard-earned money burned for video clips in support of #KamalaHarris - who nodded through another $20 billion weapons package for Israel, only days ago.

    The #genocide committed by #Israel in #Gaza seems to be "unreal" and abstract for many.

    While feral domesticated cats are a big problem in a lot of places (including NYC) and need vigorous #TNVR / #TNR or relocation, #WildFelines need to be protected!

    In #Brazil, #conservationists try to save one of the world’s most #endangered #cats

    by Sarah Brown on 13 June 2024

    via @mongabay

    "- #Muñoa’s #Pampas cat, a small wild feline, is endemic to the Pampas grasslands that sprawl over southern Brazil, #Uruguay and northeastern #Argentina.

    "- With fewer than 100 individuals left in the wild, experts call Muñoa’s pampas cat one of the most endangered felines in the world and warn it go extinct within 10 years as its natural habitat is cleared for #cropland.

    - #Conservation plans to save the species include switching from #monocultures to extensive ranching that preserves the natural #grasslands, creating a #captivebreeding program, and developing a trinational conservation agreement.

    "- Recent #floods in the Brazilian state of #RioGrandeDoSul, where many Muñoa’s Pampas cat sightings have been recorded, have currently halted all local #conservation efforts, putting the future of this feline at risk."

    The Landsat-Derived Global Rainfed and Irrigated-Cropland Product (LGRIP) provides high resolution, #global #cropland data to assist and address #food and #water #security issues of the twenty-first century.

    As an extension of the Global Food Security-support Analysis Data ( #GFSAD ) project, LGRIP maps the world’s #agricultural lands by dividing them into #irrigated and #rainfed croplands, and calculates irrigated and rainfed areas for every country in the world.

    LGRIP data are produced using Landsat 8 time-series satellite sensor data for the 2014-2017 time period to create a nominal 2015 product.

    Each LGRIP 30 meter resolution GeoTIFF file contains a contains a layer that identifies areas of rainfed cropland (cropland areas that are purely dependent on direct precipitation), irrigated cropland (cropland that had at least one irrigation during the crop growing period), non-cropland, and water bodies over a 10° by 10° area, as well as an accuracy assessment of the product. A low-resolution browse image is also available.
