  • Field work is being done since March 2009 in the Majadas study area. There have been three field trips per month, taking into account the field work protocols defined by the project members. This field work includes the collection of spectral measurements as well as sampling of vegetation (trees and grassland). In Sueca study area the field measurements (spectral and vegetation) have been taken monthly during summer from July to September in order to follow the main growing phases of the rice crop
