Summary

We apply a research approach that can inform riparian restoration planning by developing products that show recent trends in vegetation conditions identifying areas potentially more at risk for degradation and the associated relationship between riparian vegetation dynamics and climate conditions. The full suite of data products and a link to the associated publication addressing this analysis can be found on the Parent data release. For this study, the vegetation conditions are characterized using a series of remote sensing vegetation indices developed using satellite imagery, including the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The NDVI is a commonly used vegetation index that quantifies relative greenness of the vegetation [...]

Purpose

This product is a multi-band raster stack that shows monthly NDVI for the Bylas Fire across the 3rd climate period, from January 2014 through July 2022. Each band represents a single month, where band 1 represents data for January 2014 and band 103 represents data for July 2022. This Child Item shows conditions of the riparian forest prior to and following a wildfire, and can be used to monitor post-fire vegetation response.
