Cropping Intensity in the Aral Sea Basin and Its Dependency from the Runoff Formation 2000–2012

This study is aimed at a better understanding of how upstream runoff formation affected the cropping intensity (CI: number of harvests) in the Aral Sea Basin (ASB) between 2000 and 2012. MODIS 250 m NDVI time series and knowledge-based pixel masking that included settlement layers and topography fea...
