Description
Based on 25x25 metre resolution satellite imagery the Green Index for all of the Netherlands is calculated three times a week. The index literally determines how green the surface is (quantity biomass) and is a measure of how fast the plants grow. The Green Index runs from 0 to 1, where 1 stands for maximum greenness and productivity.
