NDVI-processed imagery using Landsat 8 OLI data from June 1 to November 31, 2021. Showing Punakha, Bhutan, vegetative areas are represented by green while black depicts non-vegetative areas. Bhutan is located in the Himalayas with altitude ranging from 550 ft. to 23,000 ft., resulting in vast diversity of both ecosystem and agricultural products. Examining vegetation area help in developing a crop mask and remotely sensed data collection protocol for rice in Bhutan.

High photosynthetic capacity is dark green, low photosynthetic capacity is tan, water detected in NDVI is white. Focusing on low to high vegetation cover, density, and productivity to prioritize resource allocation and increase agricultural sustainability f

Median daily evapotranspiration (ET) from September 2021 to May 2022 calculated from ISS ECOSTRESS data. The image covers the agricultural fields adjacent to the Maipo River, Chile and depicts water stress. The color scale ranges from red (low ET) to blue (high ET), with higher ET observed over irrigated agricultural fields. ET is used for estimating crop irrigation requirements. This data will inform irrigation management practices and help alleviate water scarcity within the area. ​

False-color imagery from Landsat 8 surface reflectance. The 2021 median composite image depicts the landscape and vegetation sites in the regions of western Bhutan, specifically the districts of Punakha, Wangdue Phodrang, Thimphu, and Paro. The band combination highlights fallow agriculture fields in light brown, dense urban areas in purple, forest cover in green, snow in light blue, and rocky areas in darker brown.
