NDMI {VegSpecIndex} | R Documentation |
Normalized Difference Moisture Index
Description
The NDMI is a vegetation index that uses remote sensing data to determine the water content of vegetation. It is used to monitor droughts and fuel levels in areas that are prone to fire. Negative values are the indicator of water stress or non-vegetated areas, the values approaching -1, indicate water stress and values approaching +1, indicate waterlogged area (Vermote et al., 2016).
