Studying of the MODIS data potentials to assess the pastureland production in the arid region of Semirom-Iran
Introduction Pasture management with domestic animal grazing should be based on an understanding of the spatial and temporal distribution of forage production.To estimate the pasture production in any region,reliable and repeatable techniques are needed for use by land managers.Traditional methods of estimating forage production have spatial and temporal limitations and can not be applied on vast areas.Application of remotely sensed data is a suitable method to evaluate the pasture production and sequentially detect changes.The aims of the present research were : the study of the MODIS data capabilities to estimate pasture production in the Semirom and Brojen regions-Iran,while also selecting the proper vegetation indices to estimate production,as well as studying the pasture production dynamics through the multi temporal data in arid conditions.
