Modified soil adjusted vegetation index for the Death Valley regional flow system, Nevada and California
The raster-based Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index was
derived from Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery data acquired
during June 1992 for the Death Valley regional flow system.
The index has been shown to increase the dynamic range of
the vegetation signal while further minimizing the soil
background influences, resulting in greater vegetation
sensitivity as defined by a "vegetation signal" to
"soil noise" ratio. The data set was used in determining
phreatophyte boundaries for a ground-water evapotranspiration
study and relative differences in vegetation density between
discharge areas.
