New study reveals pine plantations in Ufa suburbs facing chlorophyll decline.
The article explores using vegetation indices to study pine plantations in Ufa and its suburbs. Researchers analyzed satellite images to calculate different vegetation indices like NDVI, EVI, SAVI, and NDWI. They found that these indices can help assess the health and age of pine forests, identifying areas with lower chlorophyll content. By combining these indices, they could better understand the condition and variability of the plantations. However, the relationship between NDWI and pine forest condition requires further investigation.
