Phenological Dynamics of Vegetation Using the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) in Regions of Bahia State

SUMMARY

The purpose of this study is to analyze the dynamics of EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index) variability in different time scales of the different biomes in the state of Bahia. Images of the MODIS / Terra (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) sensor with spatial resolution of 1km were used for the period between 2001 and 2015. For that, the methodology of the Wavelet Transformation (WT) was applied in each homogeneous region HR. The WT allows to identify in different scales important oscillations in the signal, through scales of energy and global power. Thus, it can be observed that the phenological pattern of vegetation predominates on an annual scale in almost all regions, except in HR1, HR4 and HR6 where interactions with smaller scales are detected: intrasazonal and seasonal to some years in the studied period. In this context, it was possible to identify that in the years where there were higher rates of EVI, there is an association with higher rainfall indices in different regions. Therefore, it can be said that EVI is also a good indicator of rainfall.
