Ecosystem Health International GEO Workshop on <strong>SAR</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Support</strong> <strong>Agricultural</strong> Moni<strong>to</strong>ring The spatial scales of the Ecosystem Health applications are shown in Figure 9 and the temporal scales are shown in Figure 10. Other Ecosystem Health applications were Suitability Index and Woody Biomass Potential.

International GEO Workshop on <strong>SAR</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Support</strong> <strong>Agricultural</strong> Moni<strong>to</strong>ring Other information provided by respondents <strong>to</strong> help understand their needs for agricultural moni<strong>to</strong>ring included: • “<strong>SAR</strong> Derived DEM for whole nation.” • “<strong>SAR</strong> images are absolutely required for crop growth moni<strong>to</strong>ring due <strong>to</strong> cloud cover problem in the tropical area.” • “Information <strong>to</strong> support climate change, carbon account, deforestation etc. especially in the <strong>Agricultural</strong> / Forest fringe regions.” • “RADAR may hold potential for us in quantifying flooded areas.” • “Our group has used optical remote sensing for over 30 years, and our staff has a bias for optics. Radar has always been a mystery <strong>to</strong> us and there is a great need for training and simplified products.” • “Note <strong>to</strong> clarify selection of time scales: We are a research organization. We work in semiarid lands where preciptiation is important and infrequent. So, our research is often focused on ‘events’. We often need daily information <strong>to</strong> capture the event. For example, for water and wind erosion, annual information would be great, but daily information is also required.” 4.2 Current and Planned Use of <strong>SAR</strong> Data The current and planned use of <strong>SAR</strong> data for each application is shown in Table 3. Each cell of the table shows the number of respondents who selected this cell. The relative values of each cell are more important than the absolute numbers. In the Crop Production category, the ‘other’ applications were Rangeland, Crop Condition and Crop Development. In ‘Water Availability’, no ‘other’ applications were specified. In the Land Management category, ‘Rangeland’ was specified as the only additional application. In ‘Ecosystem Health’, ‘Woody biomass potential’, ‘Coastal’ and ‘Teaching Geology’ were given as additional applications. The ‘other’ sensors listed were: • Intermap IF<strong>SAR</strong>, • ‘Would like <strong>to</strong> use Terra<strong>SAR</strong>-X if available’, and • ERS.
