최근 기후변화로 야기되는 식생의 변화는 수문기상인자인 증발산과 토양수분에 많은 영향을 끼친다. 본 연구의 목적은 식생의 변화가 수문기상인자인 토양수분에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하고자 하는데 있다. 식생인자와 수문기상 인자와의 상관관계를 알아보기 위해 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) 위성 이미지 데이터를 연구에 적용하였으며, 식생인자는 MODIS 13 Vegetation Indices Product에서 추출한 정규식생지수 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI)를 이용하였다. 식생인자와 토양수분의 상관관계를 분석하기 위해 농업기상정보시스템(Rural Development Administration, RDA)에서 측정한 군위, 논산, 옥천, 예산 지역의 토양수분 관측값 및 Aqua 위성에 탑재된 Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer E(AMSR-E)를 이용하여 측정한 토양수분 관측값을 MODIS-NDVI와 비교 분석하였다. 식생인자와 수문기상인자의 시계열 자료를 이용하여 변화하는 양상을 알아내고자 하였고 상관성을 분석하여 식생인자가 수문인자에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 파악하였다. 그 결과 RDA 토양수분 관측값은 MODIS-NDVI와 거의 비슷한 경향을 나타남을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 이는 RDA와 AMSR-E의 토양수분의 관측 깊이에 따른 차이로 이 같은 현상이 나타난다고 사료된다, 또한 MODIS-NDVI, AMSR-E, RDA가 가지고 있는 각기 다른 공간 해상도(1km, 25km, point scale)가 반영된 결과라 할 수 있겠다, 추후 이를 보완한다면 보다 식생변화가 토양수분에 미치는 영향분석을 명확히 할 수 있을 것이다.

This study is to analyze the 2012 spring drought of Korea using drought index and satellite image. The severe spring drought recorded in May of 2012 showed 36.4% of normal rainfall(99.5mm). The areas of west part of Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheong-do were particularly serious. The drought indices both the SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index) and WADI(WAter supply Drought Index) represented the drought areas from the end of May and to the severe drought at the end of June. The drought by SPI completely ended at the middle of July, but the drought by WADI continued severe drought in the agricultural reservoir watersheds of whole country even to the end of the July. On the other hand, the results by spatial NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and EVI(Enhanced Vegetation Index) data from Terra MODIS, both indices showed relatively low values around the areas of Sinuiju, Pyongyang, and west coast of North Korea and Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheong-do of South Korea indicating drought condition. Especially, the values of NDVI and EVI at Chungcheong-do were critically low in June compared to the normal year value.

NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)는 식생의 건강상태 및 농작물 생산량 추정등에 효과적인 식생지수로, 20년 이상 축적된 MOAA NDVI data의 경우, 식생의 시기적, 계절적 변화탐지가 가능해져 이를 바탕으로 한 가뭄지수들이 개발되어 가뭄 모니터링에 사용되어지고 있다 지난 2001년, 한반도는 기상관측 이래 90년만의 강수량 최저치를 기록하여 전국적인 대 가뭄의 피해를 입었으며, 특히 북한은 유엔이 선정한 가뭄에 가장 취약한 국가로 그로 인한 식량난이 더욱 악화되고 있어 가뭄에 대한 정보는 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 1994～2002년의 식물 생장기(growing season : 3～10월)동안 NDVI 10일 최대값 합성영상 (10-day maximum composite data)을 사용하여 남북한으로 나누어진 한반도를 대상으로 각각의 식생현황을 파악 및 비교하고, 산림, 농지, 도시지역별로 NDVI와 가뭄의 주원인인 강수량과의 상관관계로 그 효용성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, NDVI는 1～2개월 전 강수량의 영향이 가장 컸으며, 특히 농지지역에서의 상관계수가 높게 나타났다.

A comparative study was conducted for alternative consecutive procedures of detection of cloud-contaminated pixels and gap-filling and smoothing of time-series data to produce high-quality gapless satellite vegetation index (i.e. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI). Performances of five alternative methods for detecting cloud contaminations were tested with ground-observed cloudiness data. The data gap was filled with a simple linear interpolation and then, it was applied two alternative smoothing methods (i.e. Savitzky-Golay and Wavelet transform). Moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) data were used in this study. Among the alternative cloud detection methods, a criterion of MODIS Band 3 reflectance over 10% showed best accuracy with an agreement rate of 85%, which was followed by criteria of MODIS Quality assessment (82%) and Band 3 reflectance over 20% (81%), respectively. In smoothing process, the Savitzky-Golay filter was better performed to retain original NDVI patterns than the wavelet transform. This study demonstrated an operational framework of gapdetection, filling, and smoothing to produce high-quality satellite vegetation index.

In boreal conifers in China's Northeast area, maximum latewood density (MXD) of tree-ring varies in response to growing season temperature. Forest net productivity can be estimated using the Normalized-difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) calculated from satellite sensor data. MXD from the Mohe site in this area was compared with estimates of NPP for 1982-1999 produced by the NDVI model, which was established based on the relationship of leaf area index (LAI) and NDVI. The result shows that the MXD series correlated significantly with the NDVI model estimates series, suggesting that MXD appeared to be an appropriate index for productivity or canopy growth in region where forest productivity is strongly temperature-related.

The two reflective channels(red and near infrared spectrum) of advanced very high resolution radiometer(AVHRR) data were used to classify primary vegetation cover types in the Korean Peninsula. From the NOAA-11 satellite data archive of 1991, 27 daytime scenes of relatively minimum cloud coverage were obtained. After the initial radiometric calibration, normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) was calculated for each of the 27 data sets. Four or five daily NDVI data were then overlaid for each of the six months starting from February to November and the maximum value of NDVI was retained for every pixel location to make a monthly composite. The six bands of monthly NDVI composite were nearly cloud free and used for the computer classification of vegetation cover. Based on the temporal signatures of different vegetation cover types, which were generated by an unsupervised block clustering algorithm, every pixel was classified into one of the six cover type categories. The classification result was evaluated by both qualitative interpretation and quantitative comparison with existing forest statistics. Considering frequent data acquisition, low data cost and volume, and large area coverage, it is believed that AVHRR data are effective for vegetation cover type mapping at regional scale.

This study was conducted to monitor the vegetation recovery in the areas damaged by the forest fires on the east coast that occurred in April 2000. The study site was a forest fire-damaged area in Samcheok-si, Gangwon-do, and 21 monitoring areas (12 natural restoration sites, 9 artificial restoration sites) were selected to analyze the vegetation recovery trend since 1998. The vegetation recovery trend was compared by calculating the values according to the year using the difference Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) based on satellite images (Landsat TM/ETM+ and Sentinel-2A). As the result of this study, all 21 sites, vegetation was recovered, and both groups showed the greatest recovery in summer. In the case of the dNBR, the artificial restored sites showed higher values than the natural restored sites, and in the case of the NDVI, the natural restored sites were higher than the artificially restored sites in summer and autumn. However, the difference between the two groups of natural and artificial restoration sites was not significant. Therefore, the direction of forest restoration after forest fire damage can be effectively restored if properly implemented for the purpose of restoration of the target site.

Land cover and its changes, affecting multiple aspects of the environmental system such as energy balance, biogeochemical cycles, hydrological cycles and the climate system, are regarded as critical elements in global change studies. Especially in arid and semiarid regions, the observation of ecosystem that is sensitive to climate change can improve an understanding of the relationships between climate and ecosystem dynamics. The purpose of this research is analyzing the ecosystem surrounding the Gobi desert in North Asia quantitatively as well as qualitatively more concretely. We used Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from SPOT-VEGETATION (VGT) sensor during 1999${\sim}$2007. Ecosystem monitoring of this area is necessary because it is a hot spot in global environment change. This study will allow predicting areas, which are prone to the rapid environmental change. Eight classes were classified and compare with MODerate resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) global land cover. The time-series analysis was carried out for these 8 classes. Class-1 and -2 have least amplitude variation with low NDVI as barren areas, while other vegetated classes increase in May and decrease in October (maximum value occurs in July and August). Although the several classes have the similar features of NDVI time-series, we detected a slight difference of inter-annual variation among these classes.

Background: Monitoring terrestrial vegetation cover condition is important to evaluate its current condition and to identify potential vulnerabilities. Due to simplicity and low cost, point intercept method has been widely used in evaluating grassland surface and quantifying cover conditions. Field-based digital photography method is gaining popularity for the purpose of cover estimate, as it can reduce field time and enable additional analysis in the future. However, the caveats and uncertainty among field-based vegetation cover estimation methods is not well known, especially across a wide range of cover conditions. We compared cover estimates from point intercept and digital photography methods with varying sampling intensities (25, 49, and 100 points within an image), across 61 transects in typical steppe, forest steppe, and desert steppe in central Mongolia. We classified three photosynthetic groups of cover important to grassland ecosystem functioning: photosynthetic vegetation, non-photosynthetic vegetation, and bare soil. We also acquired normalized difference vegetation index from satellite image comparison with the field-based cover. Results: Photosynthetic vegetation estimates by point intercept method were correlated with normalized difference vegetation index, with improvement when non-photosynthetic vegetation was combined. For digital photography method, photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic vegetation estimates showed no correlation with normalized difference vegetation index, but combining of both showed moderate and significant correlation, which slightly increased with greater sampling intensity. Conclusions: Results imply that varying greenness is playing an important role in classification accuracy confusion. We suggest adopting measures to reduce observer bias and better distinguishing greenness levels in combination with multispectral indices to improve estimates on dry matter.

Since vegetation provides humans with various ecological spaces and is also very important in terms of water resources and climatic environment, many vegetation monitoring studies using vegetation indexes based on near infrared sensors have been conducted. Therefore, if the near infrared sensor is not provided, the vegetation monitoring study has a practical problem. In this study, to improve this problem, the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) was used as a reference to evaluate the accuracy of the vegetation index based on the optical sensor. First, the Kappa coefficient was calculated by overlapping the vegetation survey point surveyed in the field with the NDVI. As a result, the vegetation area with a threshold value of 0.6 or higher, which has the highest Kappa coefficient of 0.930, was evaluated based on optical sensor based vegetation index accuracy. It could be selected as standard data. As a result of selecting NDVI as reference data and comparing with vegetation index based on optical sensor, the Kappa coefficients at the threshold values of 0.04, 0.08, and 0.30 or higher were the highest, 0.713, 0.713, and 0.828, respectively. In particular, in the case of the RGBVI (Red Green Red Vegetation Index), the Kappa coefficient was high at 0.828. Therefore, it was found that the vegetation monitoring study using the optical sensor is possible even in environments where the near infrared sensor is not available.
