The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is a widely-used metric for quantifying the health and density of vegetation using sensor data. It is calculated from spectrometric data at two specific bands: red and near-infrared. The spectrometric data is usually sourced from remote sensors, such as satellites.

Photosystem I (PSI, or plastocyanin–ferredoxin oxidoreductase) is one of two photosystems in the photosynthetic light reactions of algae, plants, and cyanobacteria. Photosystem I [ 1 ] is an integral membrane protein complex that uses light energy to catalyze the transfer of electrons across the thylakoid membrane from plastocyanin to ferredoxin.

A 2019 review of scientific papers found the consensus on the cause of climate change to be at 100%, [6] and a 2021 study concluded that over 99% of scientific papers agree on the human cause of climate change. [7] The small percentage of papers that disagreed with the consensus often contained errors or could not be replicated.
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It absorbs and emits infrared radiation at its two infrared-active vibrational frequencies. The two wavelengths are 4.26 μm (2,347 cm −1) (asymmetric stretching vibrational mode) and 14.99 μm (667 cm −1) (bending vibrational mode).
Herbivore is the anglicized form of a modern Latin coinage, herbivora, cited in Charles Lyell 's 1830 Principles of Geology. [ 3 ] Richard Owen employed the anglicized term in an 1854 work on fossil teeth and skeletons. [ 3 ]Herbivora is derived from Latin herba 'small plant, herb' [ 4 ] and vora, from vorare 'to eat, devour'.
