Description
Eisathaya Taung Geo-physically significant reserve is located in Hpa-an Township of Kayin State. The Eisathaya cave was discovered seven miles away from Hpa-an township by a Buddhist monk. Due to its lime stone cave system it is recognized as a geo-physically significant area thus the cave is preserved in natural condition. The cave is also lately discovered cave among other cave systems of Kayin State.
With its limestone hills and caves, the area is also covered by upper mixed deciduous forests hosting some mammals and reptiles.
Key species
Cumulative EVI Anomaly
The enhanced vegetation index (EVI) is an 'optimized' vegetation index designed to enhance the vegetation signal with improved sensitivity in high biomass regions and improved vegetation monitoring through a de-coupling of the canopy background signal and a reduction in atmosphere influences. Landsat Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) is similar to Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and can be used to quantify vegetation greenness. However, EVI corrects for some atmospheric conditions and canopy background noise and is more sensitive in areas with dense vegetation.
