Mapping Net Primary Productivity of Peninsular Malaysia Forest Using Satellite Data

The main objective of this project is to estimate and map the Net Primary Productivity (NPP) of Peninsular Malaysia forest using NOAA AVHRR satellite data. The production of this NPP map is very important and serves as background information for the overall project, the mapping of ecosystem services...
