A Practical Satellite-Derived Vegetation Drought Index for Arid and Semi-Arid Grassland Drought Monitoring

A Practical Satellite-Derived Vegetation Drought Index for Arid and Semi-Arid Grassland Drought Monitoring

In semi-arid pasture areas, drought may directly influence livestock production, cause economic losses, and accelerate the processes of desertification along with destructive human activities (i.e., overgrazing). The aim of this article is to analyze the disadvantages of several drought indices deri...
