Identifying vegetation patterns for a qualitative assessment of land degradation using a cellular automata model and satellite imagery [PDF]
We aim to identify the spatial distribution of vegetation and its growth dynamics with the purpose of obtaining a qualitative assessment of vegetation characteristics tied to its condition, productivity and health, and to land degradation. To do so, we compare a statistical model of vegetation growth and land surface imagery derived vegetation indices.
