TY - JOUR ID - TI - Monitoring Vegetation Area in Baghdad Using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index AU - Abeer N. Abdul-Hammed AU - Alaa S. Mahdi PY - 2022 VL - 63 IS - 3 SP - 1394 EP - 1401 JO - Iraqi Journal of Science المجلة العراقية للعلوم SN - 00672904 23121637 AB - Vegetation monitoring is considered an important application in remote sensing taskdue to variation of vegetation types and their distribution. The vegetation concentrationaround the Earth is increase in 5% in 2000 according to NASA monitoring. This increase isdue to the Indian vegetable programs. In this research, the vegetation monitoring inBaghdad city was done using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) fortemporal Landsat satellite images (Landsat 5 TM& Landsat 8 OIL). These images had beenused and utilize in different times during the period from 2000, 2010, 2015 & 2017. Theoutcomes of the study demonstrate that a change in the vegetation Cover (VC) in Baghdadcity. (NDVI) generally shows a low value of plant cover. The highest NDVI values wereoccur in 2000 and the lowest values for both years 2015-2017. This change is due to acorrelation of climate indices such as precipitation, temperature, and dust storms. Thisstudy present that (NDVI) method is a powerful and useful way of monitoring vegetation.The calculation of vegetable areas show (43.3, 37.4, 9.1, and 22.7 Km2). The result wereevaluated using (Environment for Visualizing Images ENVI) Ver. 4.8 package.
