Early disease detection
Drought stress monitoring
Vegetation health assessment
Forest decline monitoring
Quick Stats
Category: vegetation
Sensor: WorldView 3
Provider: MAXAR
Bands Used: 2
Description
A vegetation stress index that uses the ratio of reflectance at 605nm to 760nm. This index is sensitive to plant stress conditions and can detect early signs of vegetation health decline.
