Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) satellite data derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor were used to generate time-series data for discrete landtypes in Northern Territory (NT) tropical savanna rangelands. Measures of vegetation flush were determined using area under the time-series curve for each growing season, and were regressed against the corresponding annual rainfall. Predicted values of flush for any given rainfall value were generated, allowing for variability in vegetation response related to rainfall. ...
