An Annual Plant Growth Proxy in the Mojave Desert Using MODIS-EVI Data

In the arid Mojave Desert, the phenological response of vegetation is largely dependent upon the timing and amount of rainfall, and maps of annual plant cover at any one point in time can vary widely. Our study developed relative annual plant growth models as proxies for annual plant cover using met...
