Global vegetation cover changes from coarse resolution satellite data
Land cover plays a key role in various biophysical processes related to global climate and terrestrial biogeochemistry. Although global land cover has dramatically changed over the last few centuries, until now there has been no consistent way of quantifying the changes globally. In this study we used long-term climate and soils data along with coarse resolution satellite observations to quanti...
متن کاملExploring Relationships between Rainfall and Vegetation Dynamics in the Sahel Using Coarse Resolution Satellite Data
This research investigates temporal and spatial patterns of vegetation greenness and explores relationships between rainfall and vegetation dynamics in the Sahel, based on analyses of NDVI time series and gridded precipitation estimates at different spatial resolutions.
متن کاملLand cover monitoring using coarse resolution data series
* Corresponding author. Abstract – This study focuses on the use of coarse spatial resolution (CR, pixel size about 1 km) remote sensing data for land cover change detection and estimation. Since, in the presence of some changes, both the multitemporal class features and the pixel composition in terms of classes are unknown, the proposed algorithm is based on the iterative alternate estimation ...
متن کاملEstimation of vegetation cover resilience from satellite time series
Resilience is a fundamental concept for understanding vegetation as a dynamic component of the climate system. It expresses the ability of ecosystems to tolerate disturbances and to recover their initial state. Recovery times are basic parameters of the vegetation’s response to forcing and, therefore, are essential for describing realistic 5 vegetation within dynamical models. Healthy vegetatio...
متن کاملLand Cover Classification from Coarse Resolution Time Series
Land cover classification requires both temporal and spatial information. Indeed, vegetation temporal evolution is necessary to discriminate the different land cover types. This information can be derived from coarse resolution sensors such as MERIS (300×300m pixel size), or SPOT/VGT (1km pixel size), whereas high resolution images, such as SPOT4/HRV ones (20×20m pixel size), contain the requir...
