To attain the interactive map it appears that the Berliner Morgenpost has created a oestrus map of the country, where the per centum of greenery determined past times the NDVI analysis is represented on the map alongside a dark-green color ramp. The map tiles were created inward Tilemill together with made into an interactive map using the Leaflet mapping platform.
