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 …

Plant phenomics, the link between plant genomics and environment, recently is explosively
highlighted. As its basis, a large variety of phenoty** approaches have been developed …

Leaf area index (LAI) is an important vegetation parameter. Active light detection and
ranging (LiDAR) technology has been widely used to estimate vegetation LAI. In this study …

Global estimates of forest aboveground biomass and carbon storage have major
discrepancies linked to limitations in tree-level biomass estimates. Robust allometric …

Determination of stem and crown biomass requires accurate measurements of individual
tree stem, bark, branch and needles. These measurements are time-consuming especially …

Arctic tundra ecosystems are responding to effects of climatic warming via shifts in
vegetation composition and increased woody biomass. In this sensitive ecosystem, minor …

Increasing the accuracy and spatial coverage of Leaf Area Index (LAI) values is an important
part of any attempt to successfully model global atmosphere/biosphere interactions. It is …
