The objective of this paper is to determine spectral quantities of each crop. The best of these two-band indices were further tested to see if soil adjustment or nonlinbands that are best suited for characterizing agricultural crop biophysical variables. The data for this study comes ear fitting could improve their predictive accuracy. The best of the narrow band NDVI models explained 64% to fr...

The temporal and spatial vegetation dynamics is highly dependent on many different environmental and biophysical factors. Among these, climate is one of the most important factors that influence the growth and condition of vegetation (Propastin et al., 2006). The complexity of the relationships between vegetation and climate; climate and oceanic dynamics; and the impacts of the combination of o...
