  1. 1. Vegetation phenology derived using the plant phenology index and the normalized difference vegetation index for the Balkan peninsula, south-eastern Europe

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Aleksandra Ivanova; [2019]
    Keywords : physical geography; ecosystem analysis; phenology; vegetation; climate change; remote sensing; plant phenology index; PPI; timesat; Balkan peninsula; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study analyses the performance of the satellite derived Plant Phenology Index (PPI) against the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for estimating start of season (SOS) and end of season (EOS) of vegetation growth in part of the Balkan Peninsula, Southeastern Europe (2000 – 2016). Results revealed that PPI and NDVI differ considerably; SOS and EOS may diverge by more than one month between the two indices. READ MORE

  3. 2. Classification and structural connectivity of urban vegetation : A comparative study using different datasets

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Malin Lundberg; [2018]
    Keywords : Connectedness; effective mesh size; fragmentation; landscape metrics;

    Abstract : Urban greenspace has an important role in supporting biodiversity and providing structural and functional connectivity between natural habitats. However, the mapping of vegetation in urban areas presents challenges, as urban vegetation is highly fragmented and heterogeneous. READ MORE

  4. 3. Monitoring trends of greenness and LULC (land use/land cover) change in Addis Ababa and its surrounding using MODIS time-series and LANDSAT Data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tesfaye Gebeyehu Admasu; [2017]
    Keywords : Time-series; MODIS; Addis Ababa; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science; NDVI; Greenness; LULC; GEM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) was introduced in 1974. Despite its limitations, it has been under use for monitoring bio-physical and cultural landscapes from satellite. READ MORE

  5. 4. Tracing mangrove forest dynamics of Bangladesh using historical Landsat data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Md Monirul Islam; [2017]
    Keywords : Bangladesh; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Landsat; mangroves; change detection; time-series; NDVI; supervised classification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Present, accurate, and reliable estimation of mangrove forests in Bangladesh is limited. Former estimation of mangroves extent and density has been more or less restricted to Sundarbans and do not represent the whole country. READ MORE

  6. 5. Relationship between tree species composition and phenology extracted from satellite data in Swedish forests

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Stefan Arvidsson; [2015]
    Keywords : MODIS; forests mapping; fractional mapping; satellite derived phenology; GIS; Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; TIMESAT; NDVI; EVI; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study investigated the “relationship between tree species composition and phenology extracted from satellite data in Swedish forests”. The proposed method investigated in this study aims at mapping the fractional composition of deciduous/coniferous tree species and also the fractional composition of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and several pine (Pinus sp.
