Name Vegetation Productivity Index
Acronym VPI
Description The Vegetation Productivity Index (VPI) assesses the overall vegetation condition by referencing the current value of the NDVI with the long-term statistics for the same period. The VPI is a percentile ranking of the current NDVI value against its historical range of variability: values of 0%, 50% and 100% respectively indicate that the current observation corresponds with the historical minimum (worst vegetation state), median (normal) or maximum (best situation) ever observed.
