NIRvPNear-Infrared Reflectance of Vegetation and Incoming PAR

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #181

Summary

The Near-Infrared Reflectance of Vegetation and Incoming PAR (NIRvP) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2022; its source is cited as Benjamin Dechant, Youngryel Ryu, Grayson Badgley, Philipp Köhler, Uwe Rascher, Mirco Migliavacca, Yongguang Zhang, Giulia Tagliabue, Kaiyu Guan, Micol Rossini, Yves Goulas, Yelu Zeng, Christian Frankenberg, & Joseph A. Berry (2022). NIRVP: A robust structural proxy for sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence and photosynthesis across scales. Remote Sensing of Environment, 268. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2021.112763 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 42.49th percentile overall, ranking 181 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 50 indices published within two years of 2022, it ranks 10 (82nd percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 29.86th percentile and ranks 149 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 31 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 7 (80.65th percentile).
