It uses 'phenological' and productivity-related variables derived from time series of vegetation indexes, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, to assess ecosystem dynamics and change, which eventually might drive to land degradation. The final result of the Land Productivity Dynamics indicator is a categorical map with 5 classes of land productivity dynamics, ranging from declining to increasing productivity. See www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1470160X21010517/ for a description of the methods used in the package to calculate the indicator.
