Abstract :
Today acquisition of knowledge regarding to the health of vegetation has an important role in the management of protected areas and conservation of plant and animal species. Remote sensing is a useful technology for investigation of vegetation since past to present that have priority over other method. Using vegetation indices in determination of the spatial distribution of vegetation is one of the ways for vegetation change detection. In this study, due to suitable atmospheric conditions and percentage of cloud cover less than 10%, the images of June 1987 and 2016 and May 2003, TM, ETM + and OLI sensors of Landsat and three vegetation indices, including NDVI, SAVI and EVI were used for the identification and classification vegetation cover. The cross-classification method was used to compare vegetation indices with land cover map which produced by hybrid classification and selecting the best vegetation index in classification. Kappa coefficient obtained from comparison of vegetation map using NDVI index and land cover map for 1987, 2003, and 2016 were 0.87, 0.82 and 0.87, respectively, which were higher than others. Also, the results of 30-year-old reveal a decrease of 9153.27 hectares of Juniperus in the studied area that 9092.43 ha were converted to rangelands and 60.84 ha to barren lands.
