Title: Vegetation classification based on advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) satellite imagery
Abstract: Many studies have investigated the potential of Landsat data for vegetation analyses, but there have been few attempts to make similar use of meteorological satellite data. The feasibility of utilizing AVHRR imagery for vegetation classification was tested using a vegetation gradient model based on an experimental climatological variable and AVHRR data along an east-west transect across Texas. The normalized difference vegetation index of AVHRR data, when plotted against vegetation characteristics and moisture values, suggested that a multivariate gradient model incorporating satellite spectral and meteorological data has promise as a technique for vegetation stratification and monitoring.
