Preface
This report examines the scientific basis for the use of remotely sensed data, particularly the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), for the assessment of land degradation at different scales and for a range of applications, including resilience of agroecosystems. Evidence is drawn from a wide range of investigations, primarily from the scientific peer-reviewed literature but also non-journal sources. The literature review has been corrobor
