Figure 4: (a) Colour composite (NIR, Red Edge, and Red) image of KARD zone, (b) Colour composite image of the NDVIs from 
4 consecutive month (April to July) for a subset (A, outlined on the left) of KARD zone. Dark regions (low NDVI for 4 months) 
indicate potential bare areas whereas light regions (high NDVI for 4 months) indicate potential forested areas, (c) Preliminary results 
for the land cover map of KARD. GAC is represented by cultivated land (Gl, arable and grassland), family gardens (G2), permanent 
crops (cultivated) (G3), and mixed pattern of cultivated land, mountain grassland and natural vegetation (G4). Potential non GAC 
includes mixed pattern of bare area and natural vegetation (PI), fallow land (P2), inland vegetation or grassland (P3), permanent crops 
(not cultivated) (P4). Non GAC consists of closed (N1) or open (N2) forests, permanent natural bare areas (N3), urban areas (N4), 
vegetation in urban (N5), other sealed surfaces such as roads (N6), and water bodies (N7). (d) Resulting GAC, Potential non GAC and 
non GAC mask for KARD zone.
