# Explain Vegetation Patterns

In this use case, we evaluate NDVI time-series data to understand vegetation development and variability across multiple fields. Using the connected **GeoPard MCP**, an LLM retrieves NDVI values over the selected date range and summarizes trends for each field boundary. This helps reveal differences in crop vigor, detect stress periods, and highlight spatial patterns that may indicate nutrient needs, moisture issues, pest pressure, or management differences.

The resulting visualizations show NDVI distribution and boxplot comparisons field-by-field, enabling clear side-by-side interpretation.

Ensure GeoPard MCP is connected before running this workflow. Setup details are provided [here](/geopard-tutorials/product-tour-web-app/geopard-mcp/connect-geopard-mcp.md).

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.geopard.tech/geopard-tutorials/product-tour-web-app/geopard-mcp/explain-vegetation-patterns.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
