Abstract The forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) sector in Indonesia is expected to contribute 60% of the greenhouse gas emission reduction. priority location for enhancing carbon stock as mitigation action natural forests, such Mount Halimun Salak National Park (MHSNP). objectives this research were estimate vegetation cover changes 2016, 2019, 2022, analyze programs affecting forest MHSNP. Thi...

This paper analyses the associations between Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) on the prevalence of schistosomiasis and the presence of Biomphalaria glabrata in the state of Minas Gerais (MG), Brazil. Additionally, vegetation, soil and shade fraction images were created using a Linear Spectral Mixture Model (LSMM) from the blue, red and infrared c...

The Yarlung Zangbo River basin is an important alley to transport moisture from the Indian Ocean to the inner Tibetan Plateau. With a wide range of elevations from 147 m to over 7000 m above sea level (a.s.l.), ecosystems respond differently to climate change at various elevations. However, the pattern of elevation-dependent vegetation change and how it responds to recent warming have been rare...

Remote sensing is a key technology that enables us to scale up our empirical, in situ measurements of carbon uptake made at the site level. In low leaf area index ecosystems typical of semi-arid regions however, many assumptions of these remote sensing approaches fall short, given the complexities of the heterogeneous landscape and frequent disturbance. Here, we investigated the utility of remo...

[1] In their paper, Lanfredi et al. [2003] raise several issues about our analysis of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data for areas north of 30 N between 1981 and 1999. As we describe below, their comments represent a basic misunderstanding of the data, a misrepresentation of our work, or an anticipation of our recently published results. Here we address these issues in order in ...

Green Leaf Area Index (GLAI) and Green Biomass (GBM) are two of the fundamental biophysical properties indicating vegetation physiological status. In the current research a new three channel normalized band ratio algorithm i.e. "Weighted Normalized Crop Index (WNCI)" is proposed for remote estimation of vegetation GLAI and GBM. WNCI takes into account three of the most common vegetation sensiti...

In this paper, a multifractal downscaling technique is applied to adequately transformed and lag corrected normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in order to obtain daily estimates of rainfall in an area of the Peruvian Andean high plateau. This downscaling procedure is temporal in nature since the original NDVI information is provided at an irregular temporal sampling period between 8 a...

Understanding the distribution of landscape variables presents several advantages to researchers focusing on ecological studies. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a relatively common productivity variable used to assess, monitor, and compare landscapes. In this study, an NDVI layer was created using Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre 4 (SPOT 4) satellite imagery to comp...

Assessing how environmental changes affect the distribution and dynamics of vegetation and animal populations is becoming increasingly important for terrestrial ecologists to enable better predictions of the effects of global warming, biodiversity reduction or habitat degradation. The ability to predict ecological responses has often been hampered by our rather limited understanding of trophic ...
