The dynamically generated Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) layer is an index for quantifying green vegetation. It reflects the state of vegetation health based on how vegetation reflects light at certain wavelengths.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>NDVI change was created by subtracting the cloud-masked post-event NDVI from the cloud-masked pre-event NDVI to show areas of potentially impacted vegetation as negative values (darker shades) and healthy/unimpacted vegetation in positive values (lighter shades). NDVI change can give insights to impacts from an event (like the scouring of vegetation from the riverbeds) but can also show changes in unrelated areas like the clearing of agriculture fields.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This layer is a binary NDVI change polygon (threshold of areas where NDVI decreased by -0.25 or more) for July 8 and 9 as compared to Pre-event imagery on June 17.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">Suggested Use:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>NDVI: Dark green colors are areas with a lot of green leaf growth which indicates the presence of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll reflects more infrared light and less visible light. Areas with some green leaf growth are in light greens, and areas with little to no vegetation growth are even lighter greens.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>NDVI change: Commonly used to distinguish healthy/active vegetation (positive values) from potentially unhealthy/impacted vegetation (negative values).</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Gaps in the dataset indicate clouds in the Planet imagery used to create this product.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">Satellite/Sensor:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>PlanetScope.
