What change over time in landsat naps would most likely be associated with contaminated water habitats nearby? Is it increased size of dark green areas increase size of gray areas gray areas. Replaced with light green areas or green areas. Replaced with yellow areas.
The change over time in Landsat NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) that would most likely be associated with contaminated water habitats nearby is an increase in the size of gray areas and a decrease in the size of green areas.
Contaminated water habitats can lead to pollutants entering the surrounding terrestrial ecosystems, negatively impacting vegetation health. This can result in a reduction in chlorophyll content and reduced photosynthetic activity in plants, leading to a decrease in vegetative cover and a loss of green areas. Consequently, the affected areas may appear as gray areas in Landsat NDVI imagery, indicating lower vegetation vigor.
It is important to note that NAPs (National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory) typically provide data on air emissions rather than water contamination. Therefore, a direct relationship between Landsat NAPs and contaminated water habitats might not exist. However, through the analysis of vegetation health changes captured by Landsat NDVI imagery, it is possible to infer the presence of contamination in nearby water habitats.
