NDVI |
| Description |
The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is an indicator of the greenness of the biomes. As such, it is closely linked to the FAPAR.
Even though it is not a physical property of the vegetation cover, it is very simple formulation
NDVI = (REF_nir – REF_red)/(REF_nir + REF_red)
where REF_nir and REF_red are the spectral reflectances measured in the near infrared and red wavebands respectively, makes it widely used for ecosystems monitoring. |
