“…Precipitation, temperature, and the relationship between them are the key determinants of the distribution, structure, and function of steppes globally [2]. The soil water of steppes mainly depends on precipitation at a large spatial scale and is affected both by human activities, including the grazing of livestock, irrigation, hay cutting, the improvement and cultivation of steppes, and precipitation at a regional or small spatial scale [3][4][5]. Grazing is one of the most important ways of steppe utilization, which has a certain effect on the soil moisture of steppes through a series of livestock disturbances [6].…”

Although unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been utilized in many aspects of steppe management, they have not been commonly used to monitor the soil moisture of steppes. To explore the technology of detecting soil moisture by UAV in a typical steppe, we conducted a watered test in the Loess Plateau of China, quantitatively revealing the relationship between the surface soil moisture and the visible images captured using a UAV. The results showed that the surface soil moisture was significantly correlated with the brightness of UAV visible images, and the surface soil moisture could be estimated based on the brightness of the visible images of the UAV combined with vegetation coverage. This study addresses the problem of soil moisture measurement in flat regions of arid and semi-arid steppes at the mesoscale, and contributes to the popularization of the use of UAVs in steppe ecological research.

“…The essence of resource saving organization is that in agriculture there are many industries that conditionally combine into two large areas -plant growing and animal husbandry, in each of which the appropriate methodological approaches are applied [21]. In addition, different production resources are used in various industries.…”
