  • GHSP-D-13-00055 Supplementary Material

    This appendix contains a full technical description of the satellite remote sensing data sets used in the analysis of forest cover and child health and nutrition outcomes. The data sets comprise land vegetation assessments, known as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) composites, and the Vegetation Continuous Fields (VCF) collection, which contains proportional estimates for different vegetative cover types.
