Description

NDVI for Landsat measures vegetation health using NIR (Band 5) and red (Band 4) surface reflectance. With data available since 1984, it enables long-term vegetation trend analysis. Widely used for deforestation monitoring, crop yield estimation, and multi-decadal land cover change studies.
