Perhaps paired with LiDAR to somehow test the health and fertilization of the soil? Does LiDAR even do that?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02605858190907021712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596435932432099029.post-3301560266573419662016-01-25T15:57:33.963-06:002016-01-25T15:57:33.963-06:00It's promising to see the potential of restore...It's promising to see the potential of restored cropland, but what does this restoration actually involve? Is this something that could be applied to agricultural areas worldwide?Simone Yoxallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463618458075821281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596435932432099029.post-82031994402335077002016-01-25T13:58:23.828-06:002016-01-25T13:58:23.828-06:00Modern agriculture is especially disruptive due to...Modern agriculture is especially disruptive due to its soil depletion, excessive water and pesticide use, and other harmful factors. If more research was dedicated to organic farming practices and understanding perhaps where certain crops naturally grow best, perhaps our land use and resources necessary could be reduced?

I wrote on an article with a similar issue, except it focuses on flood plains, which modern land use practices have also caused to flood more. How did the researchers use GIS to map their data?Dori Cresantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15651085375065545495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596435932432099029.post-36949298815555266702016-01-25T13:39:58.049-06:002016-01-25T13:39:58.049-06:00It would be interesting to see your perspective on...It would be interesting to see your perspective on animal agriculture and research regarding the land use and impact it has on the ecosystem. Animal agriculture is the leading cause to many issues in our environment, not so much grains and other plants. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01752386496565527900noreply@blogger.com
