Leaf area index (LAI) is a critical vegetation structural variable and is essential in the
feedback of vegetation to the climate system. The advancement of the global Earth …

Wildland fires dramatically affect forest ecosystems, altering the loss of their biodiversity and
their sustainability. In addition, they have a strong impact on the global carbon balance and …

This book discusses the fundamentals of land-use and land-cover characterization,
mapping, and monitoring using remote sensing technology. After covering the basic …

View angle effects present in spectral vegetation indices can either be regarded as an
added source of uncertainty for variable retrieval or as a source of additional information …

Real-time, nondestructive monitoring of crop nitrogen (N) status is important for precise N
management in winter wheat production. Nadir viewing passive multispectral sensors have …

Rapid, non-destructive and accurate detection of crop N status is beneficial for optimized
fertilizer applications and grain quality prediction in the context of precision crop …

River floodplains in the Netherlands serve as water storage areas, while they also have the
function of nature rehabilitation areas. Floodplain vegetation is therefore subject to natural …

Leaf area index (LAI) is a key forest structural characteristic that serves as a primary control
for exchanges of mass and energy within a vegetated ecosystem. Most previous attempts to …

Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) has shown to be a good proxy of gross primary
production (GPP) across multiple spatial and temporal scales. The dependence of top-of …

To study the anisotropy of vegetation indices (VIs) and explore its influence on the retrieval
accuracy of canopy soil-plant analyzer development (SPAD) value, the bidirectional …
