The medusahead phenology model produced three metrics (Start of Season Time (SOST), End of Season Time (EOST), and Maximum Time (MAXT)) and calculated five metrics for identifying the sustained growth characteristics of medusahead throughout Snake River Plain (SRP) and Northern Basin and Range (NBR) ecoregions. The current suites of 30-m spatial resolution phenological metrics are SOST; Start of Season NDVI (SOSN); EOST; End of Season NDVI (EOSN); Maximum Time (MAXT); Maximum NDVI (MAXN); Duration (DUR); and Amplitude (AMP). Datasets 2017 to 2021 were developed using decision tree analysis training data from their respective year, but 2022 was developed from unseen NDVI datasets to test robustness of the phenology...

Phenological dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems reflect the response of the Earth's vegetation canopy to changes in climate and hydrology and are thus important to monitor operationally. The Exotic Annual Grass (EAG) phenology in the western U.S. rangeland based on 30m near seamless Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) weekly composites between 2016 and 2021 (Dahal et al., 2022) were processed using these 3 methods: (1) NDVI threshold-based method, (2) manual phenological metrics, and (3) modeling and mapping. The EAG phenology model produced two metrics identifying the sustainable growth characteristics of 16 EAG species throughout level III Commission for Environmental...

Phenological dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems reflect the response of the Earth's vegetation canopy to changes in climate and hydrology and are thus important to monitor operationally. The cheatgrass and medusahead phenology in the Snake River Plain (SRP) and Northern Basin and Range (NBR) based on 30m near seamless Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) weekly composites between 2016 and 2022 (Dahal et al., 2022) were processed using a 3-step method. We first identified a set of points to derive an HLS NDVI timeseries based on high probability of cheatgrass and medusahead cover. Second, we extracted the phenological metrics used for training the models by applying...

Phenological dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems reflect the response of the Earth's vegetation canopy to changes in climate and hydrology and are thus important to monitor operationally. Researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center have developed methods for documenting the seasonal dynamics of vegetation in an operational fashion from satellite time-series data. The USGS made the decision to develop 2023 CONUS phenology metrics using S-NPP Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) because of the decommissioning of Aqua C6 MODIS sensor in the near future. The readily available and consistently processed smoothed EROS VIIRS (eVIIRS) maximum Normalized...
