Summary
The Normalized Difference Soil Index (NDSoI) is a soil spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2015; its source is cited as Yingbin Deng, Changshan Wu, Miao Li, & Renrong Chen (2015). RNDSI: A ratio normalized difference soil index for remote sensing of urban/suburban environments. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 39. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.2015.02.010 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 22.68th percentile overall, ranking 243 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 25 indices published within two years of 2015, it ranks 20 (24th percentile). Within the soil application domain, it is in the 23.53th percentile and ranks 14 out of 17 indices with citation data. Among the 3 similarly aged soil indices, it ranks 3 (33.33th percentile).
