Long-term composited Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for the greater Phoenix, Arizona, USA, metropolitan area and the surrounding Sonoran desert derived from annual and seasonal Landsat imagery, 1998 to 2023

### overview This data package consists of multiple decades of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) raster data across the Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research (CAP LTER) study area within metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona (USA), temporally aggregated by year and by four meteorological seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall). To serve as a proxy measurement of vegetation greenness and productivity across years and seasons, NDVI was derived from annual and seasonal composites of 30-m resolution Landsat 5-9 Level-2 Surface Reflectance imagery. All imagery retrieval and data processing were completed with Google Earth Engine (Gorelick et al. 2017) and program R. A complete description of data processing methods, including the aggregation of imagery by year and season and the calculation of the spectral index, can be found in the data package metadata (see 'Methods and Protocols') and accompanying Javascript code. ### citations - Gorelick N, Hancher M, Dixon M, et al.

ANPP, NDVI and canopy height in black sand extended growing season experiment, 2019 - 2023.

As a result of climate change, the Rocky Mountain Front Range is experiencing warmer summers and earlier snowmelt. Due to the importance of snow for regulating soil temperature, growing season length, and available moisture in alpine ecosystems, even small shifts in the snow-free period could have large impacts. The focus of the Black Sand Extended Growing Season Length Experiment is to examine how terrain-related differences in climate exposure influence the way alpine habitats respond to climate change via earlier snowmelt. To simulate how climate exposure may affect plant communities, NWT LTER researchers established 5 experimental sites, each containing a pair 10 x 40m rectangular plots. These sites include north and south facing aspects, subalpine and alpine tundra meadows and a range of hydrological conditions (e.g. dry meadows, moist meadows, wet meadows). We accelerated snowmelt in one plot at each site by adding chemically inert black sand, while keeping the second plot as an unmanipulated control; black sand was added to control plots after snow had naturally melted. This dataset includes measurements of aboveground net primary productivity, plant canopy height and NDVI.

Above-ground biomass and NDVI for Sensor Node Array, 2017 - ongoing.

Spatial and temporal variability characterizes virtually all ecosystems, with resource supply changing over the course of growing season and across years due to climate variation. To better understand spatial heterogeneity in ecological response across landscape positions, we established a 16-node sensor array within a 45-hectare catchment landscape that measures temporal variability of important biogeochemical and hydrological controls on ecosystem processes. The array was established at the Niwot Saddle catchment in order to accompany long term water quality and discharge records taken at the top and bottom of this catchment. The region forms an important ecological linkage between the terrestrial areas of the Niwot Ridge LTER and the aquatic component in the Green Lakes Valley. Over two years (2017 – 2018), above-ground biomass data were sampled adjacent to each of the 16 sensor nodes to characterize plant productivity. Beginning in 2023, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was measured at each node.

Turf Transplant NDVI, 2024 - ongoing.

The Turf Transplant Experiment was set up in the summer of 2024. Paired experimental sites were established in two tundra community types - dry meadow and moist meadow - with one site of each community type pair in a lower elevation/warmer area and one site in a higher elevation/cooler area. Subplot turfs (25 cm^2) were transplanted (1) between sites of the same community type at different elevations/temperatures, (2) between plots within the same site or (3) left in place as non-transplant controls. This data package contains NDVI measurements.

Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Thaw Gradient: NDVI 2013-2024

In this larger study, we are asking the question: Is old carbon that comprises the bulk of the soil organic matter pool released in response to thawing of permafrost? We are answering this question by using a combination of field and laboratory experiments to measure radiocarbon isotope ratios in soil organic matter, soil respiration, and dissolved organic carbon, in tundra ecosystems. The objective of these proposed measurements is to develop a mechanistic understanding of the SOM sources contributing to C losses following permafrost thawing. We are making these measurements at an established tundra field site near Healy, Alaska in the foothills of the Alaska Range. Field measurements center on a natural experiment where permafrost has been observed to warm and thaw over the past several decades. This area represents a gradient of sites each with a different degree of change due to permafrost thawing. As such, this area is unique for addressing questions at the time and spatial scales relevant for change in arctic ecosystems. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was measured using a specialized Tetracam camera at individual plots throughout the 2013-present growing seasons, weather permitting. Wet, rainy, or particularly clouds days were avoided.

Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating and Drying Research (DryPEHR): NDVI 2011-2022

This drying and warming experiment addresses the following questions: 1) Does ecosystem drying, warming and permafrost thaw cause a net release or uptake of C from the ecosystem to the atmosphere?, 2) Does the decomposition of old C that comprises the bulk of the soil C pool influence ecosystem C loss? 3) How do drying and warming affect plant communities and ecosystem properties? We are answering these questions using a combined warming and drying experiment (DryPEHR), which is situated with the Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research (CiPEHR) project and located in an upland tundra field site near Healy, Alaska in the foothills of the Alaska Range. Warming treatment here refers to growing season air temperature warming (~1C) using open top chambers (OTC) combined with soil 'warming' using snow fences during the snow covered months. Drying is achieved using an automated pumping system that lowers the water table in the dry plots. Soil warming began in 2008; OTCs and drying in 2011.The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was measured using a specialized handheld camera at individual plots throughout the 2011-2018 growing season.

NDVI images derived from the 2006 AISA hyperspectral imagery of the GCE domain for vegetation

Airborne Imaging Spectrometer for Applications (AISA) Eagle hyperspectral imagery were acquired on June 20-21, 2006, by the Center for Advanced Land Management Information Technologies (CALMIT). This included ten flight lines flown for the examination of salt marsh and upland vegetation and water for spectral properties at 1 m spatial resolution. For all vegetation images, the Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) was calculated. NDVI uses the ratio of reflectance in the red and NIR wavelengths (NDVI = (NIR799 - RED675)/ (NIR799 + RED675)) to derive an index of plant vigor (Rouse et al., 1974). The subscript values are the wavelength band centers used to calculate NDVI. Values indicate the amount of green vegetation present in the pixel—higher NDVI values indicate more green vegetation. Vallid results fall between -1 and +1.

NDVI Raster maps of Scotland for 2013-2016 used to analyse correlations between greenness, mortality and mental health.

<p>These files were used in the analysis for &quot;Greenness, mortality and mental health prescription rates in urban Scotland - a population level, observational study&quot; Hyam. Submitted to RIO 2020.</p> <p><strong>Extract on construction of data</strong></p> <p>NDVI data was downloaded from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Land Satellites Data System (LSDS) Science Research and Development (LSRD) (United States Geological Survey 2018). Which produces Level 2 and Level 3 data products from the Level 1 data of instruments aboard Landsat Satellites. For this study Surface Reflectance data generated by the Landsat Surface Reflectance Code (LaSRC) from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) instrument aboard the Landsat 8 satellite was used (United States Geological Survey 2018). The Surface Reflectance NDVI (sr_ndvi) product and Level-2 Pixel Quality Assessment band (pixel_qa) were downloaded for Landsat scenes 204/21, 205/21, 206/21, 204/20, 205/20, 206/20 WRS-2 (NASA 2018) for the calendar years 2013 to 2016. These scenes cover most of Scotland and include all the major urban areas. A full list of the 333 products is given in supplemental material.&nbsp;Suppl. material 2</p> <p>All of Scotland is over 54&deg; North and so for many satellite images the sun is at too low an angle to give reliable surface reflectance data especially in the winter months. Scotland also has an oceanic climate so the ground is often obscured by cloud or mist. To build a detailed, contiguous NDVI map of the whole country therefore requires combining images taken on many satellite passes especially if points are to be sampled multiple times to overcome measurement errors. The images downloaded from USGS were therefore combined. A cloud free version of each NDVI image was created by setting the pixels that corresponded&nbsp;to cloud, snow or water in the Quality Assurance Assessment band to NA. These cloud free images were then combined into a single, mosaic stack of images to cover all of the study area and then averaged down to a single layer as a tiff image. This was done for two seasonal periods, Winter (October, November, December of 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 combined with January, February, March of 2014, 2015, 2016) and summer (April, May, June, July, August, September of 2014, 2015, and 2016). The resulting two images covering most of Scotland for winters and summers between 2013 and 2016 and formed the basis of subsequent analysis.</p> <p>These two files are included here along with a list of the Landsat products used to produce them.</p>

Perodiogram NDVI Time Series From AVHRR

<p>Vegetation seasonality assessment through remote sensing data is crucial to understand ecosystem responses to climatic variations and human activities at large-scales. Whereas the study of the timing of phenological events showed significant advances, their recurrence patterns at different periodicities has not been widely study, especially at global scale. In this work, we describe vegetation oscillations by a novel quantitative approach based on the spectral analysis of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series. A new set of global periodicity indicators permitted to identify different seasonal patterns regarding the intra-annual cycles (the number, amplitude, and stability) and to evaluate the existence of pluri-annual cycles, even in those regions with noisy or low NDVI. Most of vegetated land surface (93.18%) showed one intra-annual cycle whereas double and triple cycles were found in 5.58% of the land surface, mainly in tropical and arid regions along with agricultural areas. In only 1.24% of the pixels, the seasonality was not statistically significant. The highest values of amplitude and stability were found at high latitudes in the northern hemisphere whereas lowest values corresponded to tropical and arid regions, with the latter showing more pluri-annual cycles. The indicator maps compiled in this work provide highly relevant and practical information to advance in assessing global vegetation dynamics in the context of global change.</p>
