Evaluating the Impact of Drought Using Remote Sensing in a Mediterranean, Semi-arid Region
This paper analyses monthly differences in drought impact on vegetation activity in a semi-arid region in the north-east of the Iberian Peninsula between 1987 and 2000. The study determines spatial differences in the effects of drought on the natural vegetation and agricultural crops by means of the joint use of vegetation indexes derived from AVHRR images, a drought index (standardized precipi...
متن کاملEstimating Daily Reference Evapotranspiration in a Semi-Arid Region Using Remote Sensing Data
Estimating daily evapotranspiration is challenging when ground observation data are not available or scarce. Remote sensing can be used to estimate the meteorological data necessary for calculating reference evapotranspiration ETo. Here, we assessed the accuracy of daily ETo estimates derived from remote sensing (ETo-RS) compared with those derived from four ground-based stations (ETo-G) in Kur...
متن کاملDrought risk assessment in pasture arid Morocco through remote sensing
During the last three decades, Morocco has experienced several stern and extended episodes of drought that severely affected pasture production. To cope with this phenomenon, the policy makers have put emphasis on a reactive short term management approach rather than on pro-active risk-based management measures. The purpose of this study is the assessment of drought by remote sensing, which is ...
متن کاملPredicting plant diversity based on remote sensing products in the semi-arid region of Inner Mongolia
Changes in species composition and diversity are the inevitable consequences of climate change, as well as land use and land cover change. Predicting species richness at regional spatial scales using remotely sensed biophysical variables has emerged as a viable mechanism for monitoring species distribution. In this study, we evaluate the utility ofMODIS-based productivity (GPP and EVI) and surf...
متن کاملInvestigating the Influence of Drought on Trend of Vegetation Changes in Arid and Semiarid Regions, Using Remote Sensing Technique: A Case Study of Hormozgan province)
Introduction: As a hazardous complex climate condition, drought has affected many parts of the world, and in times when its duration is prolonged, its damage would be tremendous, affecting various sectors such as agriculture, environment, economic, social, etc. Due to the wide range of this phenomenonchr('39')s effects on all ecosystems, especially in arid and semiarid regions, continuous monit...
