LEAF AREA INDEX RETRIEVED FROM THERMAL HYPERSPECTRAL DATA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016 Leaf area index (LAI) is an important essential biodiversity variable due to its role in many terrestrial ecosystem processes such as evapotranspiration, energy balance, and gas exchanges as well as plant growth potential. A novel approach presented here

Leaf area index in a forested mountain catchment
Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2018 Leaf area index (LAI) belongs among the catchment characteristics widely used in hydrological models but still associated with great uncertainties. In a mountain forest catchment, the leaf area affects retention and evapotranspiration loss, and it could ...
