Summary
The Leaf Chlorophyll Index (LCI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for hyperspectral sensing. It was introduced in 1999; its source is cited as Bisun Datt (1999). A New Reflectance Index for Remote Sensing of Chlorophyll Content in Higher Plants: Tests using Eucalyptus Leaves. Journal of Plant Physiology, 154(1). https://doi.org/10.1016/s0176-1617(99)80314-9 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 62.3th percentile overall, ranking 119 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 43 indices published within two years of 1999, it ranks 28 (37.21th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 48.82th percentile and ranks 109 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 36 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 28 (25th percentile).
