Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article proposes a methodology for assessing the state of arable fields based on the use of Sentinel 2 satellite data. The essence of this methodology is cluster analysis of NDVI vegetation index profiles for a number of years, as well as expert analysis of the obtained results. The proposed method for assessing the state of arable fields has been tested on the example of arable lands of East Kazakhstan Agricultural Experimental Station LLP. This method can be used to optimize crop placement.
