Analyzing Vegetation Heterogeneity Trends in an Urban-Agricultural Landscape in Iran Using Continuous Metrics and NDVI by Ehsan Rahimi, Chuleui Jung

“…Texture-based metrics, particularly dissimilarity (0.45) and entropy (0.28), also correlated positively with NDVI dynamics, reflecting increased variability and heterogeneity in vegetation composition. In contrast, negative correlations were observed with metrics such as homogeneity (−0.41), Sku (−0.12), and Ssk (−0.24), indicating that increasing NDVI trends were associated with reduced uniformity and surface dominance. …”
