DBSIDry Bareness Index

SoilMultispectralCitation Rank #165

Summary

The Dry Bareness Index (DBSI) is a soil spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2018; its source is cited as Azad Rasul, Heiko Balzter, Gaylan R. Faqe Ibrahim, Hasan M. Hameed, James Wheeler, Bashir Adamu, Sa’ad Ibrahim, & Peshawa M. Najmaddin (2018). Applying Built-Up and Bare-Soil Indices from Landsat 8 to Cities in Dry Climates. Land, 7(3). https://doi.org/10.3390/land7030081 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 47.92th percentile overall, ranking 165 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 56 indices published within two years of 2018, it ranks 10 (85.71th percentile). Within the soil application domain, it is in the 82.35th percentile and ranks 4 out of 17 indices with citation data. Among the 6 similarly aged soil indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
