Phenological metrics for Protected Area "NorthernLimestone", MODIS terra tile h18v04

Phenological metrics derived from satellite data by use of R-package "phenex" (Lange (2017)). NDVI is filtered by modified BISE algorithm (see Viovy (1992)). NDVI curve is modelled with method DLogistic (see Doktor (2017), Lange (2017)). Phenological metrics include: (1) Start of season / green-up (GU); (2) End of season / senescence (SEN); (3) Length of vegetation period (VP); (4) GPP proxy (integral over vegetation period, GSIVI); (5) minimum NDVI (MinNDVI); (6) maximum NDVI (MaxNDVI); (7) day of minimum NDVI as julian date (MinDOY); (8) day of maximum NDVI as julian date (MaxDOY); (9) r-square of modelled NDVI curve; (1)-(4) are derived by using local threshold (LT) and global threshold (GT) method (see Doktor (2017), Lange (2017)). (1)-(6) include mean and standard deviation; References: [Viovy 1992]: Viovy N, Arino O, Belward A (1992) The Best Index Slope Extraction (BISE): A method for reducing noise in NDVI time-series.
