The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of coupling dynamic models of grass growth with remote sensing data for two contrasting countries: Reunion Island and Kalahari (South Africa). Two phases followed one another. A first exploratory phase, based on SPOT5 and SPOT5take5 images (desorbed satellites under study) allowed us to learn from this experience. In Reunion the adjustment of an empirical model between vegetation indices and biomass generates too much error. However it is possible to estimate the Leaf Area Index (LAI) thanks to the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). More complex Kalahari rangelands with different vegetation strata (grasses, shrubs, trees) failed to estimate grass cover conditions. This pha...
