Abstract:
The study of companson five soil-line based vegetation indices for mangrove
mapping was carried out at Kelantan Delta. The aim of this research is to identify
mangrove forest type based on soil-related vegetation indices which were
Perpendicular Vegetation Index (PVI), Soil-adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI),
Optimized Soil-adjusted Vegetation Index (OSAVI), Transformed Soil-adjusted
Vegetation Index (TSA VI) and Modified Soil-adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI)
approach derives from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) 2000. Soil-line based VI
which include soil slope, intercept and parameter were introduced in mangrove
mapping in order to remove the soil background such as humus, root and rock which
can alter the vegetation readings.
