Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) derived from satellites has been ubiquitously
utilized in the field of remote sensing. Nevertheless, there are multitudinous contaminations …

Mangrove ecosystems provide critical goods and ecosystem services to coastal
communities and contribute to climate change mitigation. Over four decades, remote …

Spectral Indices derived from multispectral remote sensing products are extensively used to
monitor Earth system dynamics (eg vegetation dynamics, water bodies, fire regimes). The …

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

Wetlands are important providers of ecosystem services and key regulators of climate
change. They positively contribute to global warming through their greenhouse gas …

Drylands make up roughly 40% of the Earth's land surface, and billions of people depend on
services provided by these critically important ecosystems. Despite their relatively sparse …

Drought is a stochastic natural hazard that is instigated by intense and persistent shortage of
precipitation. Following an initial meteorological phenomenon, subsequent impacts are …

There has been a recent surge of interest in remote sensing and its use in ecology and
conservation but this is the first book to focus explicitly on the NDVI (Normalised Difference …

Over the last few years, Deep learning (DL) approaches have been shown to outperform
state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) techniques in many applications such as vegetation …

This article reviews the use of optical and microwave remote sensing data for soil and terrain
