Drought Detection by Application of Remote Sensing Technology and Vegetation Phenology

Uttaruk Y., Laosuwan T.

Journal of Ecological Engineering

2017

Vol. 18, nr 6

115--121

Drought is a natural phenomenon as it often occurs in the area of Yasothon province, northeastern of Thailand. It causes effects on vegetation condition in the area. Drought information might be useful for local government to prepare for prevention and mitigation plan in the future. For this reason, the primary objective of the research was to conduct the examination of this province to find severe drought years. Firstly, the researcher needed to find Normalized Differences Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Vegetation Condition Index (VCI) by analyzing monthly Landsat data acquired at different periods of time from January to December 2014, 2015, and 2016, covering 4,096 km2. Then, the researcher needed to find relationship between VCI and monthly rainfall represented in term of space and time. As results, VCI and its relationship with monthly rainfall were congruent. VCI showed that the drought area was 33.87% or 1,387.32 km2 of studied area in 2014, 16.24% or 665.19 km2 of studied area in 2015 and 27.95% or 1,144.83 km2 of studied area in 2016. Therefore, the most and the least severe drought years were 2014, 2016, and 2015 respectively.

This study aimed to estimate above-ground carbon sequestration of orchards using satellite data. The research methodology analyzed the relationship between the amount of above-ground carbon sequestration and vegetation indices from the data obtained from LANDSAT 8 OLI including (1) Difference Vegetation Index (DVI), (2) Green Vegetation Index (GVI), (3) Simple Ratio (SR), (4) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and (5) Transformed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (TNDVI) in order to find out the most appropriate equation to estimate above-ground carbon sequestration of the orchards in the study area at Sang Kho sub district, Phu Phan district, Sakon Nakhon province in northeast Thailand. The study results found that the relationship between the amount of above-ground carbon sequestration and the most appropriate index relating to vegetation was TNDVI. At any rate, TNDVI had the relationship equation y = 0.226e0.039x and coefficient of determination R2 = 0.877, which represented the amount of above-ground carbon sequestration in the study area in a total of 40.86 tons per hectare.
