VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #155

Summary

The Mangrove Vegetation Index (MVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2020; its source is cited as Alvin B. Baloloy, Ariel C. Blanco, Raymund Rhommel C. Sta. Ana, & Kazuo Nadaoka (2020). Development and application of a new mangrove vegetation index (MVI) for rapid and accurate mangrove mapping. ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 166. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2020.06.001 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 51.42th percentile overall, ranking 155 out of 317 indices with citation data.
