Vegetative communities of created wetlands often display lower species richness, less cover, higher occurrence of non-native or invasive species, and fewer obligate wetlands species than those in natural wetlands, thus failing to meet basic success criteria for wetland mitigation. This study examined the effects of two design elements, disking-induced microtopography and hydrologic regime, on the first year vegetation development pattern of a mitigation wetland newly created in the Virginia piedmont. Elevation and species cover were measured along replicate multiscale circular transects in two adjacent wetland sites that are different in their hydrologic regime. Two microtopographic indices, tortuosity (T) and limiting elevation difference (LD), were calculated from the elevation measurements. Both indices were higher in disked plots than non-disked plots, showing the effect of disking on microtopography. Out of forty-one vegetation taxa observed in the wetland, 29 taxa were naturally colonized and 12 taxa were seeded. All plots except one non-disked plot were dominated by wetland vegetation. Species richness and diversity were higher in disked than in non-disked plots. Vegetation community development seemed also influenced significantly by hydrologic regime of the site. The effect of microtopography on species richness and diversity was more pronounced in a relatively dry site compared to a wet site. In addition, percent cover, species richness and diversity of vegetation were positively correlated with microtopographic indices such as T and LD. Two design elements, microtopography and hydrologic regime, should be considered and incorporated in wetland creation to enhance plant community development.

Information on the area and spatial distribution of crop fields is needed for biomass production, arrangement of water resources, trace gas emission estimates, and food security. The present study aims to monitor crops status during the growing season by estimating its aboveground biomass and leaf area index (LAI) from field reflectance taken with a hand-held radiometer. Field reflectance values were collected over specific spectral bandwidths using a handheld radiometer(LI-1800). A methodology is described to use spectral reflectance as indicators of the vegetative status in crop cultures. Two vegetation indices were derived from these spectral measurements. In this paper, first we analyze each spectral reflectance characteristics of vegetation in the order of growth stage. Vegetation indices (NDVI, GNDVI) were calculated from crop reflectance. And assess the nature of relationships between LAI and VI, as measured by the in situ NDVI and GNDVI. Among the two VI, NDVI showed predictive ability across a wider range of LAI than did GNDVI. Specific objectives were to determine the relative accuracy of these two vegetation indices for predicting LAI. The results of this study indicated that the NDVI and GNDVI could potentially be applied to monitor crop agriculture on a timely and frequent basis.

The coefficients of variation obtained from three typical vegetation indices of eight levels of multi-spatial resolution images in urban areas were employed to identify the optimum spatial resolution in terms of maintaining information quality. These multi-spatial resolution images were prepared by degrading 1 meter simulated, 16 meter ADEOS/AVNIR, and 30 meter Landsat-TM images. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Perpendicular Vegetation Index (PVI) and Soil Adjusted Ratio Vegetation Index (SARVI) were applied to reduce data redundancy and compare the characteristics of multi-spatial resolution image of vegetation indices. The threshold point on the curve of the coefficient of variation was defined as the optimum resolution level for the analysis with multi-spatial resolution image sets. Also, the results from the image segmentation approach of region growing to extract man-made features were compared with these multi-spatial resolution image sets.

작물과 산림을 포함한 식생에 대한 순1차 생산(net primary production, NPP)와 총1차 생산(gross primary production, GPP)은 바이오매스와 식생의 탄소저장과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 원격탐사를 이용해 바이오매스를 추정하는 많은 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 바이오매스는 광합성에 매우 중요한 요소인 클로로필(엽록소)의 총 함유량으로 추정할 수 있는데, 클로로필을 추정하기 위해서 다양한 식생지수들이 개발되었다. 식생지수들은 개발에 사용된 식생의 종류와 원격탐사 데이터에 따라 조금씩 차이를 가지고 있다. 하이퍼스펙트럴 영상은 다중분광 영상에 비하여 세분화된 각 파장대마다 물질에 따른 반사 및 흡수 특성이 다르기 때문에, 기존의 식생지수를 그대로 사용하기에 무리가 따른다. 본 연구는 항공기 탑재 하이퍼스펙트럴 영상을 이용하여 산림에 대한 바이오매스 추정을 위한 매개변수로 활용되는 적합한 식생지수는 무엇인지 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 하이퍼스펙트럴 영상의 밴드 특성을 고려하여 다수의 식생지수 산출식 중 9개를 선정하고, SMA(spectral mixture analysis)를 통하여 대상지역의 산림을 대표하는 3개의 endmember를 추출하였다. 9개의 식생지수와 추출된 endmembers의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 상관분석 결과는 산림이 분포된 지역에서 Pearson 상관계수는 MTVI1과 TVI가 0.877의 상관계수를 가졌으며, 식생이 적고 토양의 분포가 확연한 지역에서는 MCARI가 0.9061로 매우 높은 상관계수를 보였다. 전반적으로 MTVI1과 TVI이 0.757의 동일한 상관계수를 가지며 식생에 대한 3개의 endmember를 가장 잘 설명하는 것으로 나타났다.

봄 가뭄탐지를 위한 위성영상 활용을 위해 중 저해상 위성영상인 Landsat TM(Thematic Mapper) 영상을 이용하여 기존의 봄철 가뭄 해석에 많이 사용되어온 정규식생지수(NDVI: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)이외에 MSI(Moisture Stress Index), MidIR Index, II (Infrared Index) 지수들의 가뭄분석 활용가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경상북도 영천시를 대상으로 무강수일수에 따른 영상을 선정하여 DN(Digital Number)값의 특성 및 상관성을 분석하고 이와 더불어 가뭄지수와의 비교 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 NDVI와 MSI 및 II 지수는 높은 상관관계를 보였으나, MidIR은 낮은 상관관계를 보였으며, 가뭄지수와의 분석에서도 MSI 및 II 지수는 강한 상관관계를 보여주었다. 따라서 MSI와 II 지수를 이용한 가뭄연구를 통해 정보의 다양성 및 정확도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study is to analyze the 2012 spring drought of Korea using drought index and satellite image. The severe spring drought recorded in May of 2012 showed 36.4% of normal rainfall(99.5mm). The areas of west part of Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheong-do were particularly serious. The drought indices both the SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index) and WADI(WAter supply Drought Index) represented the drought areas from the end of May and to the severe drought at the end of June. The drought by SPI completely ended at the middle of July, but the drought by WADI continued severe drought in the agricultural reservoir watersheds of whole country even to the end of the July. On the other hand, the results by spatial NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and EVI(Enhanced Vegetation Index) data from Terra MODIS, both indices showed relatively low values around the areas of Sinuiju, Pyongyang, and west coast of North Korea and Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheong-do of South Korea indicating drought condition. Especially, the values of NDVI and EVI at Chungcheong-do were critically low in June compared to the normal year value.

Rule set is an important step which impacts significantly on accuracy of object-oriented classification result. Therefore, this paper proposes a rule set to extract land cover from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery acquired in Donganh, Hanoi, Vietnam. The rules were generated to distinguish five classes, namely river, pond, residential areas, vegetation and paddy. These classes were classified not only based on spectral characteristics of features, but also indices of water, soil, vegetation, and urban. The study selected five indices, including largest difference index max.diff; length/width; hue, saturation and intensity (HSI); normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and ratio vegetation index (RVI) based on membership functions of objects. Overall accuracy of classification result is 0.84% as the rule set is used in classification process.

Global vegetation change is one of major global concerns. Remote sensing images provide an efficient and useful data source to estimate global vegetation covers, and a number of methods have been proposed to estimate them. Among them, the NDVI is one of the most popular indices, and it is_easy to calculate with simple image computing. However, this index is very much affected by the radiometric environment of sensing such as atmospheric conditions and the sun illumination angle. Therefore, it is not appropriate to apply the NDVI to investigate seasonal changes. This paper discusses these problems and proposes an alternative index, MODVI(Modified Vegetation Index), that is less affected by radiometric environment changes. An experiment was conducted to compare these two indices using temporal Landsat TM sub-scenes.
