Abstract
Mangroves are estuarine and coastal ecosystems strongly influenced by the local tidal regime and climate, so there is a strong variation between seasons of the year. Assessing seasonal characteristics and fluctuations allows for an understanding of changes in mangrove ecosystems during each period of the year. In this study, we used images collected from the Multispectral Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to determine the current status and fluctuations between summer and winter of the mangrove area of Dong Rui commune according to five vegetation indicators, including the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (GNDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index (VARI), and Green Chlorophyll Index (GCI). The results show that the current state of mangroves in the UAV flight area is relatively good, with the value of vegetation indicators at a high level. In the summer, the value of vegetation indicators is stable and higher than in the winter. In low-tide areas, vegetation index values fluctuate higher than in high-tide areas. Based on the results of the analysis of vegetation indicators, the degree of correlation between NDVI and the remaining four values was determined. The results showed that the correlation coefficient was at a high level, with the highest being between NDVI and SAVI with a correlation coefficient of approximately equal to 1, followed by NDVI and EVI with a correlation coefficient above 0.9. We propose that UAV is an effective tool for monitoring and assessing fluctuations, serving the management and conservation of mangrove ecosystems.
期刊介绍:
Landscape and Ecological Engineering is published by the International Consortium of Landscape and Ecological Engineering (ICLEE) in the interests of protecting and improving the environment in the face of biodiversity loss, desertification, global warming, and other environmental conditions.
The journal invites original papers, reports, reviews and technical notes on all aspects of conservation, restoration, and management of ecosystems. It is not limited to purely scientific approaches, but welcomes technological and design approaches that provide useful and practical solutions to today''s environmental problems. The journal''s coverage is relevant to universities and research institutes, while its emphasis on the practical application of research will be important to all decision makers dealing with landscape planning and management problems.
