Geospatial mapping and biophysical analysis of factors that affect oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) yields in Peninsular Malaysia

The objective of this study is to model oil palm yield distributions and investigate the factors that influence oil palm yields in Peninsular Malaysia using remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS) techniques. Herein, we investigate six factors that influence oil palm yield in Penins...

The objective of this study is to model oil palm yield distributions and investigate the factors that influence oil palm yields in Peninsular Malaysia using remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS) techniques.
