Energy Crops Cultivation in a Polluted Site: Comparison of Field Biomass Production and Remote Sensing Estimation

Short Introductive summary

Three energy crops (industrial hemp, miscanthus and sorghum) were cultivated in a multimetal polluted site in Attika, Greece. This study aimed to estimate the biomass quantity of each crop using remote sensing technologies, and to compare these results with field measurements. Each field was divided into nine plots of 81 m2 (9x9) each, and using Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) and a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), the vegetation characteristics and density of each crop were captured. The exact height of each plant was determined using data from both the drone and GNSS. Moreover, vegetation moisture content was evaluated by calculating the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) using satellite data (Santinel-2, Copernicus program). Finally, a comparison of the estimated biomass quantities with the actual quantities harvested was conducted, and the results were promising.
