Monitoring Grassland Tourist Season of Inner Mongolia, China Using Remote Sensing Data

Monitoring Grassland Tourist Season of Inner Mongolia, China Using Remote Sensing Data

Phenology-driven events, such as spring wildflower displays or fall tree colour, are generally appreciated by tourists for centuries around the world. Monitoring when tourist seasons occur using satellite data has been an area of growing research interest in recent decades. In this paper, a valid me...
