Detecting leaf phenology of seasonally moist tropical forests in South America with multi-temporal MODIS images
Leaf phenology of tropical evergreen forests affects carbon and water fluxes. In an earlier study of a seasonally moist evergreen tropical forest site in the Amazon basin, time series data of Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) from the VEGETATION and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors showed an unexpected seasonal pattern, with higher EVI in the late dry season than in t...
متن کاملAmazon rainforests green-up with sunlight in dry season
[1] Metabolism and phenology of Amazon rainforests significantly influence global dynamics of climate, carbon and water, but remain poorly understood. We analyzed Amazon vegetation phenology at multiple scales with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite measurements from 2000 to 2005. MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI, an index of canopy photosynthetic capacity) incr...
متن کاملWhy Is Remote Sensing of Amazon Forest Greenness So Challenging?
The prevalence of clouds and aerosols and their impact on satellite-measured greenness levels of forests in southern and central Amazonia are explored in this article using 10 years of NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) greenness data: normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index (EVI). During the wet season (October–March), cloud contamina...
متن کاملSeasonal Biophysical Dynamics along an Amazon Eco-climatic Gradient Using Modis Vegetation Indices
We utilized the TerraMODIS Vegetation Index (VI) products to characterize the variability in seasonal and spatial patterns of photosynthetic vegetation activity along an eco-climatic gradient extending from the diverse Brazilian cerrado to the seasonal tropical forest at Tapajos National Forest, including transitional biomes at Santana do Araguaia and land conversion areas. The NDVI and EVI at ...
متن کاملDeclining Vegetation Growth Rates in the Eastern United States from 2000 to 2010
Negative trends in the monthly MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) time-series were found to be widespread in natural (non-cropland) ecosystems of the eastern United States from 2000 to 2010. Four sub-regions were detected with significant declines in summed growing season (May-September) EVI, namely the Upper Great Lakes, the Southern Appalachi...
