Land productivity dynamics

Parameter 

Land Productivity Dynamics (LPD)

 

 


Represented classes

 Land Productivity Dynamics (LPD): Declining Productivity – Early signs of decline – Stable but stressed – Stable not stressed – Increasing Productivity


Description 

LPD is a map of persistent decline/stress, stability and gain of land productivity, strictly during the observation period from 2001 to 2018 generated through the interaction of three NDVI-based indicators: Steadiness, Initial standing biomass, and Standing biomass at change.

Land Productivity Dynamics (LPD)


Description 

Land Productivity Dynamics data is derived from NDVI product of MODIS/Terra Vegetation Indices 16-Day L3 Global 250m SIN Grid V006

 LPD is a map of persistent decline/stress, stability and gain of land productivity, strictly during the observation period from 2001 to 2018 generated through the interaction of three NDVI-based indicators: Steadiness, Initial standing biomass, and Standing biomass at change.
