A Simple Method to Extract Tropical Monsoon Forests Using NDVI Based on MODIS Data:A Case Study in South Asia and Peninsula Southeast Asia

Distribution of monsoon forests is important for the research of carbon and water cycles in the tropical regions. In this paper, a simple approach is proposed to map monsoon forests using the Normalized Difference Vegetation lndex （NDVI） derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer （MODIS） data. Owing to the high contrast of greenness between wet season and dry season, the monsoon forest can be easily discriminated from other forests by combining the maximum and minimum annual NDVI. The MODIS-based monsoon forest maps （MODMF） from 2000 to 2009 are derived and evaluated using the ground-truth dataset. The MODMF achieves an average producer accuracy of 80.0% and the Kappa statistic of 0.719. The variability of MODMF among different years is compared with that calculated from MODIS land cover products （MCD 12Q 1）. The results show that the coefficient of variation of total monsoon forest area in MODMF is 7.3%, which is far lower than that in MCD12Q1 with 24.3%. Moreover, the pixels in MODMv which can be identified for 7 to 9 times between 200l and 2009 account for 53.1%, while only 7.9% ofMCD12QI pixels have this frequency. Additionally, the monsoon forest areas estimated in MODMF, Global Land Cover 2000 （GLC2000）, MCDI2Q1 and University of Maryland （UMD） products are compared with the statistical dataset at national level, which reveals that MODMv has the highest R^2 of 0.95 and the lowest RMSE of 14 014 km^2. This algorithm is simple but reliable for mapping the monsoon forests without complex classification techniques.

Study on Distribution Pattern of Plant Diversity of Forest Vegetation in Luofu Mountain,Guangdong

Through sample plot survey and statistic analysis,this paper adopts ecological method to study the characteristics of plant diversity of forest vegetation in Luofu Mountain,Guangdong.The results show that there is a great plant diversity of forest vegetation in Luofu Mountain owing to the ascendancy of aqueous and thermal condition in subtropical zone.The total number of species in 4 500 m2 sample plot(s)are 170 with 3 870 individual plants in total;Dahl species richness index(D)is 44.932;Simpson diversity index(L,D)is 0.022,0.022;Simpson(1982)diversity index(D)is 3.806;Pielou evenness index(E)is 0.984 and Hulbert evenness index(E)is 0.815;Shannon-wiener diversity index(information index H')is 4.188;Asymmetry index(r)is 0.185.These indexes show that a better habitat will bring about plant diversity of forest vegetation,and the diversity of zonal vegetation shows that the higher latitude is,the less species of vegetation can be found.Besides,vertical change of plant diversity of forest vegetation in Luofu Mountain is obvious.Its species richness index and plant diversity index show that monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forest is the tallest,mountain evergreen broad-leaved forest follows as the second and conifer-broad-leaved mixed forest is the shortest.The Wilson β-diversity index,which is obtained by comparison between forest vegetation below 300 m and forest vegetation between 600-900 m,is 0.621.Calculated from comparison between forest vegetation in 600-1 100 m and forest vegetation in 900-1 100 m,the Wilson β-diversity index is 0.727;by comparing forest vegetation below 300 m with forest vegetation in 900-1 100 m,the Wilson β-diversity index is 1.877.This shows that the plant diversity of forest vegetation is affected by the change in gradient of elevation.
