Geomorphologic Distribution of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index
Conclusion
This study combines remotely senses data and DTM to investigation the geomorphologic distribution pattern of NDVI. Data show that aspect is the most important factor. Separating data by illumination and non-illumination may be a simple but efficient way in classify the vegetation community.
NDVI distribution against slope and elevation shows the valley bottom and steep slope usually have less vegetation or lower biomass. Slopes in about 40 degree usually have largest value of NDVI. NDVI usually decrease with elevation. The decrease trend is gradual but drop very fast in the area about 3000 meters.
