TY - JOUR T1 - Potential NDVI as a baseline for monitoring ecosystem functioning JF - International Journal of Remote Sensing Y1 - 2000 A1 - Stoms, D. M. A1 - Hargrove, W. W. KW - AVHRR KW - California KW - GAP KW - managed areas KW - NDVI KW - net primary production KW - NPP KW - Oregon KW - regression tree analysis KW - time integrated NDVI KW - Washington AB - Baseline data are needed to determine the overall magnitude and direction of change in ecosystem functioning. This letter presents an approach to estimate potential NDVI from environmental variables and training data of actual NDVI in nature reserves. Patterns of deviations of actual NDVI from the baseline generally correspond with land-use types in the western United States. VL - 21 UR - ://000084681200014 ER -
