Description of space-time variability of the potential productivity of Acacia caven espinales based on MODIS images and the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI)

Acacia caven espinales are important communities of sclerophyllus vegetation in central Chile. To increase its productivity, it is necessary to study the community’s condition, their relationships with the surrounding environment and the interactions between them. The present study was carried out i...
