    • Modified soil adjusted vegetation index for the Death Valley regional flow system, Nevada and California

    Metadata Updated: September 18, 2024

    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.
