Ÿe Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), an index developed for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Earth Observing System (EOS) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) mission (Huete et al., 2002), has been shown useful across a wide range of terrestrial vegetation studies. Ÿese include climate-vegetation interactions (Saleska
