EVALUACIÓN ESPACIO TEMPORAL DE LA COBERTURA VEGETAL MEDIANTE IMÁGENES SATELITALES LANDSAT 8 EN LA UNIVERSIDAD TÉCNICA DE COTOPAXI, CAMPUS SALACHE ENTRE LOS AÑOS 2015 AL 2024
Abstract
El presente artículo tiene como objetivo evaluar la evolución de la cobertura vegetal en el Campus Salache, utilizando el Índice de Vegetación de Diferencia Normalizada (NDVI) mediante imágenes satelitales Landsat 8. La metodología incluyó la delimitación del área de estudio siendo un total de 89.43 hectáreas, la descarga y procesamiento de las imágenes fueron desde el 2015 hasta el 2024, además se procedió hacer el cálculo del NDVI para identificar la salud y la productividad de los cultivos. Se aplicaron técnicas como la extracción por máscara y clasificación supervisada, asimismo se analizó los cambios en la cobertura vegetal. Los resultados mostraron que el área de infraestructura aumentó de 1.130 ha en el 2015 a 1.477 ha en el 2024, lo que representa un incremento de 0.347 ha, mientras que el área de cultivo disminuyó de 4.359 ha a 4.012 ha, evidenciando una reducción de 0.347 ha. El análisis de tendencias reveló que, algunas zonas mostraron mejoras en la salud de la cobertura vegetal, las áreas más altas enfrentaron un aumento en el suelo desnudo y plantas enfermas. En conclusión, la investigación destacó la efectividad de las intervenciones de conservación en ciertas áreas, pero también subrayó la necesidad de un manejo adaptativo para abordar los problemas en las zonas más vulnerables. La evaluación del NDVI y el análisis de tendencias nos resalta la importancia de continuar con estrategias de gestión sostenible para mitigar la pérdida por lo que es fundamental dar un monitoreo para ajustar las prácticas que favorecen los ecosistemas agrícolas.
