Abstract

The MODIS Surface reflectance Daily L2G Global 250m, 500 and 1km data were used for analysis of vegetation cover of Georgia. NDVI and EVI daily values were calculated on the basis for 2008-2016 period. Mean decadal and monthly maps of NDVI and EVI were compiled with an object of future analysis of vegetation change dynamics.
