The Institute for Alpine Environment, in collaboration with the Institute for Earth Observation, maintain a network of ground stations for collecting both images and other physical parameters such as NDVI, Surface Temperature, or Photosynthetically Active Radiation. The main advantage to create such a network is the possibility to have long-term observations with automated techniques at high temporal and, in the case of digital repeat photography, also high spatial resolution.

One of the research interests of the Laimburg's Agricultural Research Offices aims at enhancing the understanding of the physiological processing influencing growth, flowering, and fruit productivity in South Tyrol. In the framework of the MONALISA project non-destructive technologies in post-harvest apples quality analysis have been exploited and studied. The main aim of this research is the usage of three years data collected and organized in the MONALISA database for deeper comprehension of a technology for the non/destructive assessment and the prediction of maturity.
