Abstract:

Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems techniques are reliable and common methods that used in examining and observing the natural features of the earth, its change according to place and time. NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) analyses are one of the most popular uses of these methods together. Studies that track drought, forecast agricultural output, or identify regional differences in vegetation degradation frequently use NDVI data. As a result, it is feasible to manage and keep track of the growth and decline of vegetation, which plays a significant role in the natural cycle. In this study, NDVI images were used by utilizing 500-meter-resolution MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite images between 2000 and 2021 and 30-meter-resolution Landsat 5, Landsat 8 between 1995 and 2021 to cover the area inside the Savur district of Mardin province. Determining the horizontal and vertical distribution and change of the field's vegetation cover is the goal of DEM (Digital Elevation Model) data layers. Maps and diagrams were used to analyze the findings.
