Using hyperspectral vegetation indices as a proxy to monitor soil salinity

For monitoring soil salinity, the potential of various hyperspectral vegetation indices were investigated. Furthermore, the most sensitive band combinations to salt-stress were identified and developed into a satisfied and specific salinity index for heterogeneous vegetation.
