Description:
The NDVI has been derived from color infrared imagery for Owens Valley. NDVI data provide an indication of photosynthetic activity (primary productivity) rather than the type of vegetation in an area, and are useful for identifying highly productive areas. In the arid climate of Owens Valley, areas of high productivity correspond closely with water availability in riparian corridors and irrigated agricultural areas. NDVI data are useful for large-scale ecological studies and for tracking changes in productivity over time.
