This technical presentation from World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) scientist Thomas Gumbricht demonstrates four elements of using remote sensing as a landscape inventory tool. This presentation formed part of the CRP6 Sentinel Landscape planning workshop held on 30 September – 1 October 2011 at CIFOR’s headquarters in Bogor, Indonesia. Further information on CRP6 and Sentinel Landscapes can be accessed from http://www.cifor.org/crp6/ and http://www.cifor.org/fileadmin/subsites/crp/CRP6-Sentinel-Landscape-workplan_2011-2014.pdf respectively.

At HQ we are using an automated FTP engine (Expect) to search the MODIS Data Pool https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/get_data/data_pool For the data we need. Sentinel landscapes, CIFOR 2011

- 12. PART 2 – phenology monitoring Extracting annual phenology For the annual vegetation phenology, we extract 11 indexes: 1. The annual average vegetation density 2. The annual maximum vegetation density 3. The annual minimum vegetation density 4. The annual limit for vegetation green up 5. The accumulated vegetation growth over the growing season(s) 6. The incremental vegetation growth over the growing seasons(s) 7. The length of the growing season(s) 8. The length of the green up phase of the growing season 9. The annual day of year for the start of the first growing season 10. The annual day of year for the peak of the vegetation density 11. The number of growing seasons The first three indexes are based on the total annual vegetation cycle. The limit for vegetation green up is calculated per annum, and based on a ratio definition: EVIratio = (EVI - EVImin)/(EVImax – EVImin), Sentinel landscapes, CIFOR 2011

- 15. PART 2 – phenology monitoring Method: Land use and land cover mapping The phenology data generated from annual time series of satellite images can be used for mapping land cover and land use. The phenology curve can be be used to differentiate vegetation types that can not be distinguished in a single scene of multi-spectral image data. I.e. Forests of different types, as well as grasslands and various agricultural crops have different phenology. To actual classify land use and land cover from phenology, we need to develop a library of typical phenology patterns. For this we need to develop field surveys or use phenology patterns reported in the literature.

Other indexes that could be used for analyzing annual variations like phenology Rainfall (can be obtained from a combination of station data and Remote Sensing) Temperature (available from the MODIS sensor) Surface wetness (index can be generated from MODIS reflectance and emissivity data) Sentinel landscapes, CIFOR 2011
