Abstract
Grass senescence estimation in rangeland is particularly
important for monitoring the conditions of forage quality
and quantity. During senescence, grasses lose their nutrients from
the leaves to the root and thereby affecting forage productivity.
Studies on the remote sensing of grasslands have been conducted
during the senescent phenological stage. However, despite the efforts
made in previous remote sensing studies on grass senescence,
its role in estimating grass senescence is rudimentary. More so, the
strengths and limitations presented by the newly developed remote
sensing instruments in grass senescence estimation are not well
documented. This work, therefore, provides a detailed overview
on the progress of remote sensing applications in characterizing
grass senescence.
