Enhancing the Applicability and Development of Vegetation Indices for Mangroves
Journal Title: Journal of Sustainable Development in Social and Environmental Sciences - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Mangrove ecosystems are critical coastal habitats with distinct characteristics that pose challenges for remote sensing-based vegetation monitoring. This study focuses on adapting and developing vegetation indices specifically for mangrove environments to enhance accuracy and utility in assessing mangrove vegetation health. Utilizing satellite imagery and field measurements, various vegetation indices were evaluated. Challenges such as salinity, waterlogging, species diversity, canopy structure, and seasonal variations were addressed. Case studies and methodological approaches illustrate how these refined vegetation indices contribute to improved mangrove ecosystem assessment, thereby supporting conservation and management efforts.
