Russia's Wartime Economy: Measuring Regional Inequalities From Outer Space
ABSTRACT We study Russia's February 2022 full‐scale invasion of Ukraine as a natural experiment to determine how sudden disruptions to international market access reshape sub‐national economic inequalities. Using remotely‐sensed nighttime lights as a proxy for economic activity, we estimate the economic effects of the war at the national and regional ...

Assessment of corn chlorophyll content via UAV‐derived vegetative indices across growth stages
Abstract Traditional chlorophyll (Chl) assessment methods are labor‐intensive and spatially limited. This study evaluated unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) multispectral imagery for nondestructive field‐scale canopy Chl estimation in corn (Zea mays L.) to support precision nutrient management.

Abstract Water scarcity is a major threat to crop production and quality. Improving drought tolerance through variety selection requires a deeper understanding of plant ecophysiological responses, but large‐scale phenotyping remains a bottleneck. This study assessed the potential of high‐throughput tools (spectroscopy and poro‐fluorometry) to predict ...
