Vegetation Indices (VIs) obtained from remote sensing based canopies are quite simple and
effective algorithms for quantitative and qualitative evaluations of vegetation cover, vigor …

In the era of water scarcity and severe droughts, the accurate estimation of
evapotranspiration (ET) is crucial for the efficient management of water resources …

Most nature and health research use the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) for
measuring greenness exposure. However, little is known about what NDVI measures in …

Widespread episodes of recent forest die-off have been tied to the occurrence of
anomalously warm droughts, although the underlying mechanisms remain inadequately …

As one of the earliest remote sensing indices, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index
(NDVI) has been employed extensively for vegetation research. However, despite an …

Photosynthesis is a pivotal process in plant physiology, and its regulation plays an important
role in plant defense against biotic stress. Interactions with pathogens and pests often cause …

Terrestrial primary productivity and carbon cycle impacts of droughts are commonly
quantified using vapour pressure deficit (VPD) data and remotely sensed greenness, without …

Urban areas feature complex and heterogeneous land covers which create challenging
issues for tree species classification. The increased availability of high spatial resolution …
