Description

These data were compiled for monitoring riparian zone trends and changes in the Navajo Nation as part of a study to document riparian ecosystem health and its water use in support of potential restoration efforts. The objective of our study was to monitor the short and medium-term effects on the riparian vegetation in relation to evapotranspiration changes, drought, and other hydrological processes, along some critical riparian zones in the Navajo Nation. These data represent time series of vegetation greenness and water use for the years 2013 to 2023. These data were collected from the spaceborne mission Landsat 8 which carries the OLI (Operational Land Imager) and TIRS (Thermal Infrared Sensor) sensors for an area within the Navajo [...]
