Response Elements

 status„number_of_seasons“: numerical value of cropping intensity (how many seasons or harvests during the observation period)“active_cropland_ratio“: percentage of time in which the parcel was agriculturally cultivated in relation to total observation period duration“active_cropland“: boolean „True“ or „False“ whether the parcel has been cultivated during the observation period or stayed fallow (or even abandoned)
 performance„gradient“: indicating the steepness or speed of crop growth based on the NDVI curve“growth_rate“: increase of NDVI per day“crop_performance“: performance indicator indicating high, medium or low crop performance“duration_of_season“: days between emergence/greenup and scenescence/harvest
 statistics„area_under_curve“: integral of NVDI time series for the observation period“min“: minimum of NDVI time series for the observation period“max“: maximum of NDVI time series for the observation period“median“: median of NDVI time series for the observation period“mean“: mean of NDVI time series for the observation period“sum“: sum of NDVI time series for the observation period“first_quartile“: 1st quartile of NDVI time series for the observation period“third_quartile“: 3rd quartile of NDVI time series for the observation period“skewness“: skewness of NDVI time series for the observation period“kurtosis“: kurtosis of NDVI time series for the observation period“stddev“: standard deviation of NDVI time series for the observation period“variation“: variation of of NDVI time series for the observation period
markers „status“: indicating the quality of the derived marker“date“: date of the derived marker“name“: SOS (Start of Season), POS (Peak of Season) or EOS (End of Season)“mean“: mean NDVI value for the respective marker

Remarks

  • phenology parameter derivation only meaningful during the respective crop growth season (defined through startdate and enddate)
  • therefore: prior knowledge of crop calendars and crop seasons may be necessary
  • number of seasons and identification of active cropland, however, can be also used as a multi-seasonal function
