Understory Bamboo Discrimination Using a Winter Image [PDF]
In this study, a new approach is presented that combines forest phenology and Landsat vegetation indices to estimate evergreen understory bamboo coverage in a mixed temperate forest. It was found that vegetation indices, especially thenormalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) derived from leaf-off (winter) images were significantly correlated with ...
