A novel spectral index for estimating fractional cover of non-photosynthetic vegetation using near-infrared bands of Sentinel satellite

A novel spectral index for estimating fractional cover of non-photosynthetic vegetation using near-infrared bands of Sentinel satellite

Non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) is an essential component in various vegetation-soil ecosystems. Both phenology and disturbance lead to a transition from photosynthetic vegetation to NPV and vice versa. Due to the similar spectral reflectance of NPV and bare soil (BS) in the visible-near infrare...
