Description
Amlan Ghosh and Padmaja Mondal assess the health of mangrove forests in the Indian Sundarbans, a vast delta on the Bay of Bengal. Their 2025 study notes that mangroves blunt climate change impacts and shelter rich ecosystems. Yet the forests face stress from natural forces and human activity, and their weak spots need mapping.
The pair used satellite data from 2010 and 2020 to compute six vegetation indices, measures of greenness and chlorophyll drawn from reflected light. A spatial model combined the indices into a health map. Some areas showed more stressed vegetation, tied to waterlogging and spreading fish-farming ponds. The map targets protection where the forest is frailest.
