drought monitoring using vegetation index (ndvi) (case study: rangelands of ilam province)
Authors
abstract
to identify an appropriate index for monitoring and evaluation of drought, rainfall data obtained from meteorological stations of ilam province from 2000 to 2011 and modis satellite images with 16-day intervals were collected and processed. the standardized precipitation index (spi) was calculated based on rainfall data; therefore, the rainfall data were used for measuring spi and satellite images were used for calculating ndvi. also, the percentages of canopy cover in range types were selected from the information of the national evaluation of rangelands in different climatic zones. the correlation between spi and ndvi and also canopy cover and ndvi was examined. the relationship between vegetation index (ndvi) and spi was determined by regression. the results of spi showed that in 2000 a severe drought and in 2006 a medium wet occurred in rangelands of ilam province. ndvi value variations have as well confirmed it. the results showed that ndvi and life form (annual forb and annual grass) has the highest percentage of correlation. also examining of result showed that most correlation of spi and ndvi was in 3 and 6-months intervals. evaluation of regression models performance in range types described that models in 3 and 6- months intervals was suitable for monitoring drought. the result of regression confirmed that ndvi was an appropriate index for monitoring and assessment of drought.

Knowledge of rangeland vegetation characteristics as well as factors affecting it in environmental planning, land management and sustainable development is very important. However, regional and up-to-date maps of pasture vegetation cover are not always available. In this study, in order to plot the vegetation cover percentage of the rangelands and monitor its changes in drought and wet periods,...

Drought is a major problematic phenomenon mostly for semi-arid areas of Iran. During drought periods, reduction in vegetation levels causes such problems as soil erosion, surface runoff, flood risk, etc. Therefore, the assessment of drought effects on plant covers is the most important issue. This research was conducted in 2015 using the extracted vegetation indices from Moderate Resolution Ima...

Vegetation Monitoring Study Using Leaf Water Content Index (lwci) and Ndvi
Leaf Water Content Index (LWCI) was proposed by Hunt, E. R. Jr., and et al (1987). At the beginning we tried and succeeded to develop this index for the practical application to the satellite remote sensing data such as Landsat TM. Next we performed vegetation monitoring using LWCI by SPOT Vegetation and we got same results. LWCI is not susceptible to influences from the atmospheric noise such ...
