npphen: an R-package for non-parametric reconstruction of vegetation phenology and anomaly detection using remote sensing [PDF]
AbstractFor ecologists, the challenge at using remote sensing tools is to convert spectral data into ecologically relevant information like abundance, productivity or traits distribution. Among these features, plant phenology is one of the most used variables in any study applying remote sensing to plant ecology and it has formally considered as one of

Phenology analysis for detection of vegetation changes based on Landsat 8 images in Nature Park Kopački rit, Croatia [PDF]
This study proposed a method for detecting vegetation changes and establishing geospatial management zones based on the 10-year phenology analysis using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) long-term trends from Landsat 8 multispectral imagery ...
