Monthly fractional green vegetation cover associated with land cover classes of the conterminous USA
The land cover classes developed under the coordination of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme Data and Information System (IGBP-DIS) have been analyzed for a study area that includes the Conterminous United States and portions of Mexico and Canada. The 1-km resolution data have been analyzed to produce a gridded data set that includes within each 20-km grid cell: 1) the three most ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Fractional Green Vegetation Cover in Residential Area
Green vegetation plays rather important role in urban environment. Recently, re-vegetation in urban residential area is becoming important policy for urban planners from the view point of climate change measures. That is, by maintaining and regenerating green vegetation, both mitigation and adaptation can be achieved. In this regard, establishment of accurate assessment and evaluation methods f...
متن کاملFractional Vegetation Cover Estimation In Urban Environments
Quality of life in urban environments is closely related to vegetation cover. The Urban growth and its related environmental problems, planners are forced to implement policies to improve the quality of urban environment. Thus, vegetation mapping for planning and managing urban is critical. Given the spectral complexity of the urban environment and the sparse vegetation in these areas, to gener...
متن کاملRemote Sensing of Fractional Green Vegetation Cover Using Spatially-Interpolated Endmembers
Fractional green vegetation cover (FVC) is a useful parameter for many environmental and climate-related applications. A common approach for estimating FVC involves the linear unmixing of two spectral endmembers in a remote sensing image; bare soil and green vegetation. The spectral properties of these two endmembers are typically determined based on field measurements, estimated using addition...
متن کاملMarkov Chain Modeling of Multinomial Land-Cover Classes
Quantitatively modeling the spatial distribution and uncertainties of landcover classes is crucial in geographic information science. However, currently suitable methods for modeling multinomial categorical variables for geographical analyses are rare because of the complex spatial interdependence of multinomial classes. In this paper we use a recently presented two-dimensional Markov chain mod...
