Estimation and Monitoring on Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) Changes in Sathyamangalam Reserve Forest
Forest gives a variety of goods and services to living things and encompasses 30% of the Earth's surface globally. Its growth and production are significantly affected by temperature variations leading to shedding of leaves. The fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR) is a significant index to assess live leaves for photosynthesis, which is essential for forest canopy growth. In the present research, the variations in FPAR are examined for the two years of interval period between 2016 to 2022 and estimated through high-resolution satellite data (SENTINEL 2A) for Sathyamangalam Reserve Forest. The values of FPAR were estimated with the help of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the result was further analyzed. The importance of FPAR has been carried out to estimate the active photosynthetic radiation changes activity during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon for the years 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022. The result shows that the changes in FPAR during pre-monsoon is about 183.30 km2 (2016) and post-monsoon 184.71 km2 (2016). Similarly, for the remaining years has been derived. Hence, the changes must be monitored for better sustainable growth in future development.
