Remote sensing for mapping ecosystem services to support evaluation of ecological restoration interventions in an arid landscape

The word document "Source and processing of GIS-RS input data" contains the information of the used Sentinel-2 and DEM data and details of the followed pre-processing steps. 2. Calculation of weighted average: the Geodatabase and the Toolbox can be opened in ArcGis.

The model in the "WeightedAverage" tbx contains the steps to calculate the values of four vegetation indices for each pixel portion inside each plot. The resulting attribute table can be copied to excel and values/plot can be calculated using the proportional area of each polygon in proportion to the plot area. Notes: a) some very small polygons will require manual filling of the VIs value. b) Check the new location (folder) of the inputs and outputs for each step of the model (model builder). 3.
