            "description": "The spread of invasive species is one of the most daunting environmental, economic, and human-health problems facing the United States and the World today. It is one of several grand challenge environmental problems being addressed by NASA's Science Mission Directorate through a national application partnership with the US Geological Survey. NASA and USGS are working together to develop a National Invasive Species Forecasting System (ISFS) for the management and control of invasive species on Department of Interior and adjacent lands. The system provides a framework for using USGS's early detection and monitoring protocols and predictive models to process MODIS, ETM+, ASTER, and commercial remote sensing data, and create on-demand, regional-scale assessments of invasive species patterns and vulnerable habitats.The first step in this process is to collect relevant satellite data which can then be used to derive a Tamarisk Habitat Suitability Map. By combining daily Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI), daily Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), and MODIS Land Cover Classification data the likely Tamarisk habitat suitability map can be derived. || ",

It can also be used to create on-demand, regional-scale assessments of invasive species patterns and vulnerable habitats. Tamarisk (Salt Ceder) is an invasive plant that typically grows near water and crowds out native species. Tamarisk reflective properties differ from those of its neighboring vegetation throughout the annual life cycle. These different reflective properties can be seen by the naked eye (as in the accompanying seasonal photographs), and can also be seen by satellite sensors. Current Tamarisk infestations and suitable habitats for future growth can be derived from various data sets, including EVI, NDVI, and land cover classifications. || ",
