摘要

Land cover change from renewable energy development in southernCalifornia is receiving increasing attention due to potential impacts onprotected area conservation, endangered species, and greenhouse gas emissions.This study was designed to quantify and map, for the first time, variationsdesert vegetation canopy density and related growth rates using 30 consecutiveyears of Landsat satellite image data across the Lower Colorado Desert. Thetime-series for mean normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) valuessampled from each of the three major land cover types (shrubland, barren sanddune, and developed urban) showed no significant positive or negative trend invegetation canopy density. Three periods of significant decrease in NDVI weredetected during the drought periods of 1989-1990, 2002-2003, and 2013-2015,indicating that annual precipitation has been the main controller of shrublandcanopy growth and green cover. Shrubland canopy cover has been relativelystable in renewable energy development zones since the mid-2000s. NDVI changein the period after nearly all southern California solar energy developmentswere initiated (post-2010) could be attributed largely to topographic waterflow pathways through canyons and desert washes, both in and around all solarenergy development zones.
