Protocols

Time-lapse UAV surveys using RGB and multispectral cameras to monitor vegetation indices (NDVI, GCC) and plant height changes across a hillslope transect during growing seasons.

Time-lapse electrical resistivity imaging using dipole-dipole array configuration to map subsurface electrical conductivity patterns and estimate soil moisture distribution across the hillslope.

Vegetation greenness assessment using Green Chromatic Coordinate as proxy for evapotranspiration rates. Calculates green reflectance normalized by total visible flux from masked vegetation areas.

Processing of Landsat NDVI time series to quantify foresummer drought sensitivity as the slope of peak NDVI versus June Palmer Drought Severity Index. Represents plant productivity responses to early ...

Standardized eddy covariance measurements of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy fluxes between ecosystems and atmosphere. Continuous automated measurements providing ground truth data for model t...
