APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING FOR HIGH MOUNTAIN ECOSYSTEM CONDITION ASSESSMENT (SOUTH WEST RILA MOUNTAIN - BULGARIA)
Journal Title: Екологично инженерство и опазване на околната среда - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
On basis of multispectral satellite data from Sentinel 2, an assessment of high mountain ecosystems condition is executed in selected territories of South West Rila Mountain. To define their actual condition, values of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and Normalized Differential Greenness Index (NDGI) were computed. The obtained values of these indices are presented as graphic images and thematic maps showing spatial distribution of the actual condition of high mountain ecosystems in the studied territories of Rila Mountain. The obtained results can be used for further assessment of ecosystem services provided by described ecosystems.
