deltaverdi
Deltaverdi is a term used in environmental science and regional planning to denote a composite indicator intended to monitor ecological change in delta regions. The metric combines indicators of physical delta dynamics with measures of vegetation health, aiming to provide a concise assessment of ecological status and resilience over time. It is typically used as a planning tool rather than a fixed, standardized index.
Etymology and usage: The name blends delta-related concepts with a generic notion of greenness and vegetation.
Calculation: In common formulations, deltaverdi aggregates a delta-change metric (such as shoreline or land-water interface evolution)
Applications and limitations: Deltaverdi has been used to compare delta regions, guide adaptation planning, and communicate
