(21) Date palm plantations Own description: Date palm plantations Phoenix dactylifera on the coast and also in wadis of the central part. Present over small areas along the most of the wadis and coastal lagoons. They occur in particular along streams north and south of Haggeher mountains, which are receiving a water supply from relatively humid mountains

(23) Sawana woodland Own description: for Socotra extraordinary vegetation type occupies solely limited area (approximately 900ha) of the Qa’arah plain in the south. As it develops (in contrast to the Frankincense woodland) only on the coastal plain, the topography is formed by altitudes ranging from 10 to 50m in elevation, while the slopes are not exceeding 3° .

Sawana woodland
A sparse tree layer of the deciduous woodland (canopy about 5%) is dominated by Commiphora ornifolia and Maerua angolensis var. socotrana, occasionally Dendrosicyos socotrana and Euphorbia arbuscula. The shrub layer is composed of common species of coastal plains such as Croton socotranus, Jatropha unicostata, Cissus subaphylla, etc.

Závěry – mapování krajinného pokryvu: •
detailní land-cover mapa ostrova by nemohla být zhotovena ve srovnatelné kvalitě, při stejných nákladech a ve srovnatelném čase pouze na základě terénního průzkumu
•
začlenění dat DPZ a navazujících technik zpracování do procesu mapování přináší výrazné zlepšení polohové a tématické přesnosti při současném snížení časové a finanční náročnosti
•
použitá metoda dává výsledky s uspokojivou polohovou a tématickou přesností (odhadovaná celková přesnost mapy rozlišující 22 tříd je 80%)
•
pomocí navazujících GIS analýz je možné získávat velmi cenné informace jako je např. celková plocha a relativní zastoupení jednotlivých land-cover tříd na ostrově, jejich lokalizace a charakteristiky ekotopu, atd.
•
možnost odhadovat současný a někdy i potenciální výskyt vzácných druhů (příklad dávají unikátní biotopy endemického druhu Dracaena cinnabari – dračincové lesy a háje), což je zásadní pro jejich další ochranu a management
•
získané informace mohou být také velmi zajímavé pro donorskou komunitu a jako takové velmi důležité pro efektivní „fund rising“
PART II: Seasonal dynamics of main vegetation formations of Soqotra and its relation to monsoonal rainfalls
Objectives: • to contribute to the understanding of seasonal dynamics of vegetation cover of Soqotra (sustainable agro-forestry management can not be implemented without understanding of seasonal dynamics of vegetation and its causalities), • to contribute to the understanding of seasonal dynamics of climate – in particular rainfalls – in different parts of the island Approach: • the use of data and techniques of Remote Sensing (in particular MODIS VI) - accessibility of data - spatially comprehensive overview - effectiveness NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index): • is robust spectral transformation of two (visible and near infrared) bands designed to enhance the ‘vegetation signal’ and allow for reliable spatial and temporal intercomparisons of photosynthetic activity • correlates with both, the status and abundance of the green vegetation cover MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) NDVI data: • set of 16-day NDVI composites at 250m spatial resolution (http://edcdaac.usgs.gov/datapool/datatypes.asp)

Závěry – sezónní dynamika vegetace: • analýza časové řady dat NDVI velmi efektivně popisuje fenologii vegetace ostrova včetně příčinných souvislostí • lokalizace určitého stanoviště (zda leží na severní či jižní polovině ostrova) je z hlediska fenologie jeho vegetace velmi důležitá • hodnocení ročních úhrnů a sezónního rozdělení srážek by mělo být vždy vztahováno ke konkrétní lokalitě (extrémní variabilita na relativně malých územích)
• žádoucí pokračovat ve sledování hodnot NDVI a jejich prostorových a časových (sezónních i meziročních) kolísání i v dalších letech: - významným prostředkem pro rozpoznání a monitoring extrémních klimatických událostí (např. příliš dlouhá suchá období, abnormálně vlhké či suché roky, atd.) a jejich vlivu na vegetaci ostrova - užitečný nástroj pro odhady srážek
PART III:
Outline mapping of Altitudinal Vegetation Zones (AVZ)
• Altitudinal Vegetation Zones (vegetation tiers), in general, express the connection of the sequence of differences in vegetation with the sequence of differences in altitudinal and exposure climate • They vary from each other in general level (amount) of green biomass, in variability of vegetation activity within a year and in length of vegetation season • Serve as an essential background for any successful agro-forestry management

Závěry – rámcové mapování vegetačních stupňů: • použití multitemporálních dat satelitu MODIS přineslo překvapivě dobré výsledky (přibližná přesnost mapování VS přes 85%)
• úspěšnost použité metody je do značné míry dána specifickými podmínkami Sokotry: - extrémním výškovým a klimatickým gradientem mezi pobřežními planinami na jedné straně a vrcholky pohoří Haggeher na straně druhé - relativně přírodním charakterem vegetačního krytu, který není narušován intenzivním zěmědělstvím (např. sklizeň by vážně narušovala přirozené sezónní kolísání hodnot NDVI)
