Vegetative groundcover is the primary defence against wind and water erosion. These scripts process Landsat satellite fractional groundcover imagery that are used to estimate the erosion hazard of soils in Western Australia
Script 1) Produce coordinates for the 8 pixels surrounding a field validaiton site
Script 2) Extract the Fractional groundcover data for the field site
Script 3) Preprocessing of multiband fractional groundcover imagery
Script 4) Percent of landscape that is below/between/above a threshold
Script 5) Temporal summary of groundcover by season
Script 6) Calculate values for a Box and Whisker plot
