Leaf nitrogen concentrations (LNC) are critical to characterize carbon fixation potential of plants and remote sensing can help to detect LNC.

Take a look at our new paper on a new transfer learning method to assess LNC across different plants

@Westlake_Uni Hands on the work!

[Sustainable Agricultural Systems & Engineering Lab @SASE_Lab]

Two exciting days on the field with the #SatLab crew.

We established a large semi-field experiment to investigate the effect of #microplastic #pollution on #soil #plant #pollinator interactions.

Stay tuned for updates!

Hello #academictwitter

We are a multi-disciplinary research group led by @tomcwanger in @Westlake_Uni, #China

We develop tech-innovations in world agric. systems. Our goal is to provide #sustainable solutions to #globalfood challenges.

Follow us, #RT and spread the word.

[Sustainable Agricultural Systems & Engineering Lab @SASE_Lab]

@MToledoMX Looking very much forward to having you @MToledoMX

[Sustainable Agricultural Systems & Engineering Lab @SASE_Lab]

Agricultural production depends on #pollination and for some crops like #cocoa, #vanilla, and #fruits it is essential to produce yields. @_HannahRitchie at @OurWorldInData provides a very nice overview in this new article:
