Satellite-derived NDVI predicts forage availability in a wild ungulate system: validation using field-collected vegetation biomass on a temperate grassland
Satellite-derived vegetation indices (VIs) provide a powerful means to quantify habitat variation in long-term ecological studies, but their reliability as proxies for forage availability in wild herbivore populations remains underexplored. We used th
