Title:  Photosynthetic carbon uptake - described by vegetation indices

Description: The main factors of photosynthetic carbon uptake – greenness and moisture - are described by the satellite vegetation indices: Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalised Difference Infrared Index (NDII). These images acquired in April 2019, show maps of NDVI calculated from Terra MODIS (left), Copernicus Sentinel-3 (middle) and Sentinel-2 (right).
