MODIS-NDVI and wheat yield patterns and predictions in Taounate, Morocco
Abstract
This study is devoted to the use of varied analytical methods to elucidate the complex relationship between normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and wheat production in Taounate, Morocco based on MODIS Satellite data. Linear regression (LR), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.93, provided a solid basis, while the decision tree (DT) showed significant performance with an R² of 0.81. Support vector regression (SVR) performed well with an R² of 0.96, highlighting its ability to capture the non-linear nuances of the data. Given the complexity inherent in the observed relationships, characterized by non-linear variations, we opted for a combined approach. K-means, closely linked to SVR, was integrated for its ability to identify homogeneous subgroups in the data (R2 up to 0.98). This combination made it possible to circumvent the limits of strictly linear methods, thus reinforcing the robustness of our analysis. These results underline the capacity of the chosen methodology to decode the interactions between NDVI and wheat production in the complex context of Taounate. By providing clear and nuanced perspectives, this study helps inform agricultural decisions and build resilience to climate challenges in the region.
