Abstract
The proper management of nitrogen (N) is a pre-requisite for sustainable fertilization in modern agriculture. Methods for N - retrieval from Earth Observation (E.O.) data have been mainly based on empirical algorithms. In the present study, two methods (physically based / hybrid) for the assessment of crop nitrogen content (Narea) and concentration (Nmass) were tested. Data from a hyperspectral field campaign in the framework of the future satellite mission Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) were exploited using a recalibrated PROSPECT model coupled with the canopy reflectance model 4SAIL. The physically based algorithm achieved relative errors (rRMSE) of 72% for Narea with R2=0.92 . The hybrid approach obtained higher accuracies with rRMSE lower than 16% for the retrieval of Nmass . Uncertainties of the predictor variables have to be taken into account. Both algorithms represent interesting techniques for global agricultural monitoring from hyperspectral satellite data but further analysis is required.
