Greenmonitor - planning management activities by measuring how fast plants grow

Based on 10x10 metre resolution satellite imagery the Greenmonitor calculates a “Green Index” for all of the Netherlands three times a week. The index literally determines how green the surface is (or, the quantity of biomass) and through time, it 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.
