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

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

Plant phenotyping forms the core of crop breeding, allowing breeders to build on
physiological traits and mechanistic science to inform their selection of material for crossing …

In evergreen conifers, where the foliage amount changes little with season, accurate
detection of the underlying “photosynthetic phenology” from satellite remote sensing has …

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