Abstract:In the field of plant conservation, it has become increasingly important to incorporate advancements to make informed decisions and effectively monitor the situation. This chapter focuses on the use of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), a tool derived from satellite observations like Landsat 8/9 and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) to estimate the Leaf Area Index (LAI) of rice, a staple crop. The LAI, which indicates the amount of leaf surface area for photosynthesis, p… Show more
