MULTI-SENSOR APPROACH TO LEAF AREA INDEX ESTIMATION USING STATISTICAL MACHINE LEARNING MODELS: A CASE ON MANGROVE FORESTS [PDF]
Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a quantity that characterizes canopy foliage content. As leaf surfaces are the primary sites of energy, mass exchange, and fundamental production of terrestrial ecosystem, many important processes are directly proportional to LAI.

Computer simulation modeling of Leaf Area Index (LAI) in maize
This study presents a PHP-based model capable of calculating maize leaf area index. The model calculates LAI from emergence to 75% silking. The basis of calculation is represented by the daily average temperature values. The usability of the model was tested using three years' temperature and LAI data series from the values obtained by the weather ...

As apple orchards have transitioned to high-density plantings, proper training systems are required to manage increased leaf area. Leaf area index (LAI) is defined as the ratio between leaf area to ground area (m2/m2) and can infer orchard health, light ...

The validation process for a moderate resolution leaf area index (LAI) product (i.e., MODIS) involves the creation of a high spatial resolution LAI reference map (Lai-RM), which when scaled to the moderate LAI resolution (i.e., > 1 km) allows for ...

Remote Sensing of Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Other Vegetation Parameters [PDF]
Monitoring of vegetation structure and functioning is critical to modeling terrestrial ecosystems and energy cycles. In particular, leaf area index (LAI) is an important structural property of vegetation used in many land surface vegetation, climate, and crop production models.

Retrieval of a Temporal High-Resolution Leaf Area Index (LAI) by Combining MODIS LAI and ASTER Reflectance Data [PDF]
This paper aims to retrieve temporal high-resolution LAI derived by fusing MOD15 products (1 km resolution), field-measured LAI and ASTER reflectance (15-m resolution). Though the inversion of a physically based canopy reflectance model using high-resolution satellite data can produce high-resolution LAI products, the obstacle to producing temporal ...

Using models for estimation of leaf area index in Cucurbita pepo L.
In order to find plant growth characteristic relationships with leaf area index in Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.), an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Three planting dates (Apr.

Characterizing Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Vertical Foliage Profile (VFP) over the United States [PDF]
Abstract. Leaf area index (LAI) and vertical foliage profile (VFP) are among the important canopy structural variables. Recent advances in lidar remote sensing technology have demonstrated the capability of accurately mapping LAI and VFP over large areas.
