Temporal annual and seasonal NDVI variation of Sagarmatha national park, Nepal and its relationship with precipitation and soil moisture

A study analyzing Sagarmatha National Park (SNP) from 2000 to 2018 found that greenery, including forests, shrubs, grasslands, and agricultural lands, increased over this period. This growth was attributed to the inverse relationship between vegetation changes and both precipitation and soil moisture levels. The research used satellite-based Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), along with precipitation and soil moisture data, to assess these trends. The findings indicate that the park's greenery has been well-preserved, providing valuable ecological insights for future conservation policies and social planning in the region.
