For the reason, the reflectance of dry soil is very high and the reflectance of slightly distributed plants is eliminated by soil reflection. As a result, the pixel’s NDVI value of desert plants shows a smaller value than the ground measurement. In this study, we succeeded to analyze Turing pattern of vegetation abundance using the method of spectral un-mixing for satellite data of the Gobi plants. It is shown that the fraction of the vegetation endmember after pixel un-mixing has a remarkably high correlation (R2=0.51 in Landsat 8 and R2=0.41 in Sentinel 2) with the ground true value of vegetation coverage.}, pages = {48--55}, title = {Spatial distribution pattern of dryland plants: Turing pattern in water limited conditions}, volume = {28}, year = {2019} }
