GCI: Green Cover Index

In VegSpecIndex: Vegetation and Spectral Indices for Environmental Assessment

Green Cover Index

Description

The Green Cover Index is used to estimate the content of leaf chlorophyll in various species of plants and to monitor the impact of seasonality, environmental stresses, or applied pesticides on vegetation health. The chlorophyll content reflects the physiological state of vegetation, it decreases in stressed plants and can therefore be used as a measurement of plant health (EOS, 2022).
