Hello
I am thinking about doing some large scale vegetation mapping for statistics.
I've been looking at using satellite data from this list of satellite data -
http://gisgeography.com/free-satellite-imagery-data-list/
Now, I know there are some indices out there like Normalized Vegetation
Difference Index but I don't know if this will tell me much about biodiversity.
It sounds like I can use open source tools to do these types of analyses like
QGIS... It could just be that it tells me if there's vegetation there or not,
if the NDVI value is high?
Does anyone have any experience mapping out vegetation biodiversity that can
confirm this assumption?
