Simple Analysis of Vegetative Trends in Earth Engine (SAVeTrEE)(LAR-19195-1)

SAVeTrEE is a script within Google Earth Engine for classifying areas of vegetation mortality. It prompts the user for a year, duration, and spectral index for which a mortality map should be produced, then fits a trend line to an imagery time sequence of vegetative spectral index values calculated from Landsat multispectral data. The slope of the trend line, as well as the spectral index values, are used in determining the final classification of each pixel within the study area. Classification categories are: 1) Growing 2) Mortality (declining) 3) Stable Vegetation and 4) Stable Barren.
