e-infrastructure Roadmap for Open Science in Agriculture

A bibliometric study

The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.

This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

Title

Potential of ensemble tree methods for early-season prediction of winter wheat yield from short time series of remotely sensed normalized difference vegetation index and in situ meteorological data

en
Abstract

We aimed at analyzing the potential of two ensemble tree machine learning methods-boosted regression trees and random forests-for (early) prediction of winter wheat yield from short time series of remotely sensed vegetation indices at low spatial resolution and of in situ meteorological data in combination with annual fertilization levels. The study area was the Huaibei Plain in eastern China, and all models were calibrated and validated for five separate prefectures. To this end, a cross-validation process was developed that integrates model meta-parameterization and simple forward feature selection. We found that the resulting models deliver early estimates that are accurate enough to support decision making in the agricultural sector and to allow their operational use for yield forecasting. To attain maximum prediction accuracy, incorporating predictors from the end of the growing season is, however, recommended. (C) 2015 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)
