During the current monitoring period, the CropWatch team focused on monitoring winter wheat and rapeseed in the Northern Hemisphere, soybean and maize in South America, and upland rice in Southeast Asia. Relevant online datasets and analytical resources were provided to assist users in better understanding crop growth conditions and yield dynamics.

The monitored crop data, covering winter wheat and rapeseed in the Northern Hemisphere, soybean and maize in South America, and upland rice in Southeast Asia, have been published on the EcoSystem data platform. Users can access detailed information through the following link: Crop Monitoring Grid Data. In addition, based on the crop yield estimation method described in Section 3.1, the team has generated gridded maps of crop yields, which are also available at: Crop Yield Grid Distribution.

For access to previous agricultural monitoring reports, users can consult the Archived Reports to retrieve full historical reports. Meanwhile, the latest updates on agricultural conditions are available through the Agricultural Monitoring Briefs to keep users informed of current developments.

To enhance users’ understanding of the analytical methodologies behind the data, the CropWatch team has also provided a detailed Method Introduction for This Study, which outlines the technical framework used. Additionally, numerous research outputs from the CropWatch team are accessible via CropWatch Publications.

For those interested in learning more about the background and research directions of the CropWatch team, further information is available at Introduction to the CropWatch Team.
