Vegetation response to rainfall pulses in the Sonoran Desert as modelled through remotely sensed imageries

ABSTRACT In northwestern Mexico in an annual cycle comprised months 2008–2009, we estimated the effects of cumulative rainfall and previous vegetation status on current vegetative greenness adjusted for soil reflectance [via the Transformed Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (TSAVI)] and canopy water co...
