Title
Performance of vegetation indices from Landsat time series in deforestation monitoring.
Abstract
•Data fusion of vegetation index can improve mapping performance, particularly in complex ecosystems.•The Normalized Difference Fraction Index is most suitable for mapping deforestation across ecosystems while the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index performs comparatively low.•For Landsat time series based deforestation mapping wetness related vegetation indices outperform greenness related indices.•Mapping performance sensitivity to observation frequency varies by used vegetation index.
