Summary
The Near-Infrared Reflectance of Vegetation (NIRv) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2017; its source is cited as Grayson Badgley, Christopher B. Field, & Joseph A. Berry (2017). Canopy near-infrared reflectance and terrestrial photosynthesis. Science Advances, 3(3). https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1602244 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 81.15th percentile overall, ranking 60 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 51 indices published within two years of 2017, it ranks 1 (100th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 74.41th percentile and ranks 55 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 22 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
