Use of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to Assess Land Degradation at Multiple Scales Current Status, Future Trends, and Practical Considerations /
This report examines the scientific basis for the use of remotely sensed data, particularly Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), primarily for the assessment of land degradation at different scales and for a range of applications, including resilience of agro-ecosystems. Evidence is drawn...
