Abstract
. This study used NDVI, ET, and LST satellite images collected by moderate resolution imaging spectroradiom eter and tropical rainfall measuring mission sensors to investigate seasonal and yearly vegetation dynamics, and also the influence of climatological factors on it, in the area of the Caspian Sea Watersheds for 2001-2019. The relationships have been assessed using regression analysis and by calculating the anomalies. The results showed that in the winter there is a positive significant cor relation between NDVI and ET, and also LST (R = 0.46 and 0.55, p-value = 0.05, respectively). In this season, the impact of pre cipitation on vegetation coverage should not be significant when LST is low, as was observed in the analysed case. In spring, the correlation between NDVI and ET and precipitation is positive and significant (R = 0.86 and 0.55, p-value = 0.05). In this season, the main factor controlling vegetation dynamics is precipitation, and LST's impact on vegetation coverage may be omitted when precipitation is much higher than usual. In the summer, the correla tion between NDVI and ET is positive and significant (R = 0.70, p-value = 0.05), while the correlation between NDVI and LST is negative and significant (R = –0.45, p-value = 0.05). In this sea son, the main factor that controls vegetation coverage is LST. In the summer season, when precipitation is much higher than aver age, the impact of LST on vegetation growth is more pronounced. Also, higher than usual precipitation in the autumn is the reason for extended vegetation coverage in this season, which is mainly due to increased soil moisture. vegetation dynamics and climatological factors in the ( The relationship
期刊介绍:
The journal is focused on the soil-plant-atmosphere system. The journal publishes original research and review papers on any subject regarding soil, plant and atmosphere and the interface in between. Manuscripts on postharvest processing and quality of crops are also welcomed.
Particularly the journal is focused on the following areas:
implications of agricultural land use, soil management and climate change on production of biomass and renewable energy, soil structure, cycling of carbon, water, heat and nutrients, biota, greenhouse gases and environment,
soil-plant-atmosphere continuum and ways of its regulation to increase efficiency of water, energy and chemicals in agriculture,
postharvest management and processing of agricultural and horticultural products in relation to food quality and safety,
mathematical modeling of physical processes affecting environment quality, plant production and postharvest processing,
advances in sensors and communication devices to measure and collect information about physical conditions in agricultural and natural environments.
Papers accepted in the International Agrophysics should reveal substantial novelty and include thoughtful physical, biological and chemical interpretation and accurate description of the methods used.
All manuscripts are initially checked on topic suitability and linguistic quality.
