VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #185

Summary

The Green Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (GSAVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2005; its source is cited as Ravi P. Sripada, Ronnie W. Heiniger, Jeffrey G. White, & Randy Weisz (2005). Aerial Color Infrared Photography for Determining Late‐Season Nitrogen Requirements in Corn. Agronomy Journal, 97(5). https://doi.org/10.2134/agronj2004.0314 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 42.17th percentile overall, ranking 185 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 46 indices published within two years of 2005, it ranks 31 (41.3th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 29.38th percentile and ranks 153 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 31 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 25 (32.26th percentile).
