Visualising the Earth's vegetation index

3D ModelNoAI

This model highlights how and where green leaf vegetation was growing in the month of August 2021.

The dark green areas display the most leaf growth, while light green indicates where there was less leaf growth. Pale brown areas show little to no growth. Rivers and lakes are coloured black to indicate no vegetation growth.
