Insuring Alpine Grasslands against Drought-Related Yield Losses Using Sentinel-2 Satellite Data

This work estimates yield losses due to drought events in the mountain grasslands in north-eastern Italy, laying the groundwork for index-based insurance. Given the high correlation between the leaf area index (LAI) and grassland yield, we exploit the LAI as a proxy for yield. We estimate the LAI by...
