Spectral indicators to detect the manifestations of desertification on farmland in Makhmour District

This study deals with the use of geographic information systems and remote sensing using spectral indicators to detect manifestations desertification on farmland in Makhmour District. The aimed investigate monitor agricultural lands area modern technologies monitoring evaluating phenomenon its effects for a period twenty-eight years by employing some such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalize difference water index (NDWI) Moisture index(VMI) Land Surface Temperature (LST). results showed deterioration vegetation cover, especially central southern regions study, noting spread cover 1998, decreased gradually rest 2016 we find that agriculture also contributed creation database maps state extension. In m Clunk four different periods (1988, 1998,2008,2016).
