Forest vegetation vigor index based on satellite images
The link: Access the data directory is available in the sectionDataset Description Sheets; Additional Information. The Forest Inventory Directorate of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF) began, in 2021, the production of data that indicates the strength of forest vegetation based on the NBR vegetation index * (Normalized Burn Ratio) . These data are produced from images from Sentinel-2A/B satellites. The purpose of the layer thus produced is to present a regional portrait, at a given date, of the strength of forest vegetation, at the pixel scale. Before integrating these data into forest planning, it is recommended to plan validation work by photo-interpretation or by means of field visits. It should also be noted that these data are complementary to the other existing data layers (ecoforestry data, fires, harvesting and reforestation, defoliation records from aerial overflights, etc.).This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).*
