“…The most widely used VIs in the estimation includes DVI, EVI, NDVI, SAVI, SRI etc., by optimizing multispectral bands 52,134 . They are, in turn, supported with the texture analysis (using GLCM or FOTO method) to understand the biotic canopy attributes to differentiate the multi-variate structure in an ecosystem, which is being an effective carbon stock predictor 111 . By integrating the RS with ground-based estimators like allometric models and inventory datasets: the VIs, LAI, canopy structure, spectral mixture analysis etc., are considered to be the most important biotic variables in estimating the available carbon stocks using empiricalregression-and integrated-models 113 .…”
