Comparative Evaluation of Microwave L-Band VOD and Optical NDVI for Agriculture Drought Detection over Central Europe
Al-Yaari, Amen; Afshar, Mahdı Hesamı ; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (2021-04-01)
Agricultural droughts impose many economic and social losses on various communities. Most of the effective tools developed for agricultural drought assessment are based on vegetation indices (VIs). The aim of this study is to compare the response of two commonly used VIs to meteorological droughts-Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) vegetation optical depth (VOD). For this purpose, meteorological drou...

Challenging geographical disadvantages and marginalisation: a case study of depeasantisation in mountain villages, the western black sea region of Turkey
Him, Miki; Hoşgör, Hatice Ayşe (null; 2017-07-27)
This paper examines an implication of depeasantisation for rural community in a case study of Dikmen in Turkey, which has faced depopulation, agricultural decline and impoverishment during the last decade.

However, while some villagers live under multiple deprivations, some challenge geographical disadvantages by investing their me...
