Linking landuse and groundwater quality in the Mississippi delta Using MODIS satellite data

The 16-day NDVI composites of MODIS data for the cropping season were examined for their relationship with the harvested area and the yield of soybean and cotton and the fertilizer ingredients (Ammonium nitrogen, Nitrate nitrogen, Phosphates, and Potassium) found in the groundwater within the Delta region of Mississippi, United States. The best relationship was found in the case of phosphates.
