Global warming and related disturbances, such as drought, water, and heat stress, are causing forest decline resulting in regime shifts. Conventional studies have combined tree-ring width (TRW) and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to reconstruct NDVI values and ignored the influences of mixed land covers. We built an integrated TRW-NDVI model and reconstructed the annual NDVI maps by using 622 Landsat satellite images and tree cores from 15 plots using point-by-point regression. Our model performed well in the study area, as demonstrated by significant reconstructions for 71.14% (p < 0.05) of the area with the exclusion of water and barren areas. The error rate between the reconstructed NDVI using the conventional approach and our approach could reach 10.36%. The 30 m resolution reconstructed NDVI images in the recent 100 years clearly displayed a decrease in vegetation density and detected decades-long regime shifts from 1906 to 2015. Our study site experienced five regime shifts, markedly the 1930s and 1950s, which were megadroughts across North America. With fine resolution maps, regime shifts could be observed annually at the centennial scale. They can also be used to understand how the Yellowstone ecosystem has gradually changed with its ecological legacies in the last century.

Abstrak Pembukaan lahan hutan yang dijadikan lokasi pertambangan merupakan salah satu kegiatan yang dapat merubah jenis tutupan lahan atau sering disebut dengan konversi lahan. Salah satu daerah yang telah mengalami konversi lahan tersebut adalah Sawahlunto. Konversi lahan yang tidak menggunakan prinsip kelestarian lingkungan dapat mengakibatkan banyak hal negatif misalnya degradasi atau penurunan kualitas hutan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah melakukan analisis tingkat degradasi hutan daerah pertambangan Sawahlunto tahun 2006 sampai 2016. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknologi penginderaan jauh berbasis citra satelit landsat. Citra satelit landsat ini diklasifikasikan dengan metode Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) berdasarkan kerapatan vegetasi. Kemudian hasil klasifikasi ini dibuat dalam bentuk pemetaan. Klasifikasi pertama dikategorikan menjadi dua yakni hutan dan non hutan. Hasil yang didapatkan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terjadi perubahan tutupan lahan yang semula hutan menjadi non hutan meningkat sebesar 7,5% selama kurun waktu sepuluh tahun. Klasifikasi selanjutnya yakni berdasarkan enam kategori yakni vegetasi sangat rapat, rapat, cukup rapat, non vegetasi 1, 2 dan 3. Dari klasifikasi ini, juga terlihat perubahan nilai NDVI maksimum maupun minimumnya. Tahun 2006 memiliki kisaran nilai NDVI maksimum 0,71 dan tahun 2016 memiliki kisaran nilai NDVI maksimum 0,56. Hal ini mengidentifikasi bahwa tingkat kehijauan yang ada di daerah pertambangan Sawahlunto menurun. Kata Kunci : degradasi, hutan, landsat, ndvi, klasifikasi, Sawahlunto.  Abstract The clearing of forest land that is used as a mining site is one of the activities that can change the type of land cover or often called land conversion. One of the forest areas that convert the land is Sawahlunto. Conversion of land that does not use the principles of environmental sustainability can lead to many negative things one of which is the degradation. The purpose of this research is to analyze the level of forest degradation of Sawahlunto mining area in 2006 until 2016. This research uses a remote sen sing technology based on landsat satellite imagery. This landsat satellite image is classified by Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) method based on vegetation density. Then the results of this classification is made in the form of mapping. The first classification is categorized into two namely forest and non forest. The results obtained from this study indicate that a change in land cover from forest to non-forest increased by 7.5% over a period of ten years. The next classification is based on six categories namely very dense vegetation, dense vegetation, fairly dense, non vegetation 1, 2 and 3. From this classification, also seen the change in NDVI maximum and minimum value. The year 2006 has a maximum NDVI value range of 0.71 and 2016 has a maximum NDVI value range of 0.56. This identifies that the existing greenness in the mining area of Sawahlunto is decreasing.  Keyword : degradation, forest, landsat, ndvi, classification, Sawahlunto.

Danau Aneuk Laut berasal dari bekas kepundan gunungapi yang telah mati dan secara bertahap terisi air. Sejak 15 tahun belakangan ini danau mengalami penurunan muka air, hal ini diduga akibat Gempa dan tsunami pada 26 Desembar 2004. Pemantauan penyusutan air danau dilakukan dengan metode penginderaan jauh menggunakan data DEM SRTM dan citra satelit Landsat. DEM SRTM digunakan untuk analisis struktur sesar dan rekahan melalui peta Fault Fracture Density (FFD). Citra satelit landsat digunakan untuk identifikasi sebaran vegetasi menggunakan transformasi Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) dan klasifikasi tutupan lahan menggunakan metode Maximum likelhood dari tahun 2001-2017. Berdasarkan peta FFD ditemukan kelurusan tertinggi yaitu danau Aneuk Laot yang memiliki zona permeabel dari struktur geologi sehingga semakin kecil kerapatan struktur maka semakin besar permeabilitasnya. Peta penyusutan air danau dengan menghitung luas permukaan air danau dari periode 2001 -2017 telah mengalami penurunan sebesar 102.600 m². Untuk tahun 2001-2003 mengalami kenaikan sebesar 68700 m² dan pada tahun 2003-2004 mengalami penurunan sebesar -42300 m². Peta sebaran vegetasi di pulau Weh memiliki index vegetasi NDVI maksimum 0,863554 yang artinya memiliki sebaran vegetasi sangat rapat berwarna hijau pekat dan Index vegetasi minimum NDVI sebesar -0,375631 menunjukkan tidak adanya rapat vegetasi berwarna coklat. Aneuk Laot Lake comes from the former crater of a volcano that has died and gradually filled with water. For about 15 years lakes have decreased Lake water level, allegedly caused by earthquake and tsunami on 26 desembar 2004. Monitoring of lake water depreciation is done by remote sensing method using DEM SRTM data and Landsat satellite image. DEM SRTM is used for analysis of fault and fracture structures through the Fault Fracture Density (FFD) map. Landsat satellite imagery was used to identify vegetation distribution using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) transformation and land cover classification using Maximum likelihary method from 2001-2017. Based on the FFD map found the highest alignment of the Aneuk Laot lake that has a permeable zone of geological structure so that the smaller the density of the structure the greater the permeability. Map of the lake's water depreciation by calculating the lake surface area from 2001 -2017 has decreased by 102,600 m². For 2001-2003 increased by 68700 m² and in 2003-2004 decreased by -42300 m². The vegetation distribution map on Weh island has a maximum NDVI vegetation index of 0.863554 having very dense green vegetation density and a minimum vegetation index of NDVI-0.375631 indicating the absence of a brown vegetation meeting. Keywords: AneukLaot lake, DEM SRTM, Landsat, FFD

&lt;p&gt;In Mediterranean mountain regions, traditional irrigation systems still persist in areas where the&amp;#160; modernization approaches do not succeed in being operational. It is common that these systems alter the soil uses, vegetation distribution and hydrological natural regime.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the case of the extensive network of irrigation ditches in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in southeastern Spain (an UNESCO&amp;#160; Reserve of the Biosphere, with areas as Natural and National Park), which originated in Muslim times, and is still operational in some areas. These ditches have contributed to maintaining local agricultural systems and populations in basins dominated by snow conditions, and they constitute a traditional regulation of water resources in the area. The network is made up of two types of irrigation ditches: &amp;#8220;careo&amp;#8221; and irrigation ditches. The first, the &quot;careo&quot;, collects the meltwater and infiltrates it along its course, maintaining a high level of soil moisture and favouring deep percolation volumes that can be later consumed by the population through springs and natural fountains. The second, the irrigation ones, are used to transport water from the natural sources to the agricultural plots downstream the mountain area. In 2014, several irrigation ditches were restored in the Natural Park. This is a chance to further explore and quantify the role of this network in the hydrological budget on a local basis.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The aim of this work is to evaluate to what extent the existence of these intermittent water networks affects the evolution of the surrounding vegetation. For this, one of the restored systems,&amp;#160; the Barjas Ditch in the village of Ca&amp;#241;ar, with a successful water circulation along its way, was selected from the increase of the soil water content in the ditch influence area and, indirectly a differential development of vegetation. Two analyses are performed using remote sensing information. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI, which is a spectral index used to estimate the quantity, quality and development of vegetation that can therefore be used indirectly as an indicator of the state of soil moisture, was used as the indicator of evolution. For this purpose, a historical set of LandSat satellite images&amp;#160; (TM, ETM+ and OLI) has been used. On the one hand, a global analysis on the whole mountainous range was carried out, comparing NDVI patterns in areas affected and non-affected by the ditches. On the other hand, the restored&amp;#160; Barjas ditch is used to assess vegetation changes before and after the restoration.&lt;/p&gt;

Abstract Java is Indonesia’s and the world’s most populous island. The increase in population on the island of Java reduces the area of forest and other vegetation covers. Landslides, floods, and other natural disasters are caused by reduced vegetation cover. Furthermore, it has the potential to lead to the extinction of flora and fauna. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) can be used to monitor the vegetation cover. This study analyzes the NDVI changes value from 2005 to 2020 using Terra and Aqua MODIS image data processed using Google Earth Engine. Processing was carried out in some stages: down-setting, performing NDVI processing, calculating monthly average NDVI, calculating annual average NDVI, and analyzing. From the study results, the NDVI value of Terra and Aqua MODIS data has a solid but imperfect correlation coefficient due to differences in orbital time which causes differences in solar zenith angle, sensor viewing angle, and azimuth angle. Then from this study, it was found that overall, changes in vegetation density cover on the island of Java decreased, which was indicated by the NDVI decline rate of -0.00047/year. The most significant decrease in NDVI value occurred in the period 2015–2016, covering an area of 13994.630 km2, and the most significant increase in NDVI occurred in the period 2010–2011, covering an area of 2256.101 km2.

Abstract West Binjai is a sub-district located in Binjai City, North Sumatra. Green Open Space is also part of the Binjai city’s planning scheme which has many benefits for the community and the environment. This research used Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) analysis and NDVI value classification results in the distribution of vegetation density. Analysis of changes in vegetation density was carried out between 2015 and 2020 in West Binjai. The largest change in the area of vegetation density classes in the West Binjai between 2015 and 2020 was the increase in the area of the high dense class to 19.13%. The sub-district has green open spaces in the form of sub-district parks, public cemeteries, road green lane, river bank and private green open spaces. These green open spaces were in the low dense, medium, dense and high dense classes. There is a need for rearrangement of green open spaces, especially those within low dense class. Replanting trees are also essential to increase the quality of the green area. Improving the quality of green space will lead to the enhancement of quality of environment.

Drought monitoring is essential to detect the presence of drought, and the comprehensive change of drought conditions on a regional or global scale. This study used satellite precipitation data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), but refined the data for drought monitoring in Java, Indonesia. Firstly, drought analysis was conducted to establish the standardized precipitation index (SPI) of TRMM data for different durations. Time varying SPI spatial downscaling was conducted by selecting the environmental variables, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and land surface temperature (LST) that were highly correlated with precipitation because meteorological drought was associated with vegetation and land drought. This study used time-dependent spatial regression to build the relation among original SPI, auxiliary variables, i.e., NDVI and LST. Results indicated that spatial downscaling was better than nonspatial downscaling (overall RMSEs: 0.25 and 0.46 in spatial and nonspatial downscaling). Spatial downscaling was more suitable for heterogeneous SPI, particularly in the transition time (R: 0.863 and 0.137 in June 2019 for spatial and nonspatial models). The fine resolution (1 km) SPI can be composed of the environmental data. The fine-resolution SPI captured a similar trend of the original SPI. Furthermore, the detailed SPI maps can be used to understand the spatio-temporal pattern of drought severity.

To improve the management of water resources in Iraq, there are several methods, including the use of rainwater harvesting techniques. In this study, the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Landsat satellite imagery were used under the GIS environment to identify the suitable zones for rainwater harvesting. The accomplishment of rainwater harvesting systems strongly depends on their technical designing and identifying the suitable sites. Six criteria have been used to identify the rainwater harvesting sites in the Diyala governorate. The procedure of identifying the suitable sites for rainwater harvesting was applied twice for the Diyala governorate. Firstly, it was applied by using the criteria of rainfall, slope, stream order, distance to roads, and land use, and secondly, rainfall, slope, stream order, distance to roads, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) criteria were used for this purpose. As a result, the study area was divided into three suitability zones: low, moderate, and high according to the specific criteria that were used to identify the rainwater harvesting suitable sites. It was found that in the application of land use criterion the low suitability zone represents 26%, 58% represents the moderate, and 16% for the high suitability zone, while in the method of NDVI it was found that 29% represents the zone that has low suitability, 57% represents the moderate, and 14% represents the high suitability zone. The compared results led to conclude that the land use is the most influential criterion for identifying the rainwater harvesting suitability sites and found that most of the Eastern parts of Diyala governorate are promising areas for rainwater harvesting and ArcGIS is a very useful, time-saving, and cost-effective tool for identifying the rainwater harvesting suitable sites.
