Vegetation greenness has been increasing globally since at least 1981, when satellite
technology enabled large-scale vegetation monitoring. The greening phenomenon, together …

Quantifying global terrestrial photosynthesis is essential to understanding the global carbon
cycle and the climate system. Remote sensing has played a pivotal role in advancing our …

Understanding how the physical structure of forest canopies influences light absorption is a
long‐standing area of inquiry fundamental to the physical sciences, including the modeling …

Abstract The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Deep Space
Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft was launched on 11 February 2015 and in June …

Many studies have shown that solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) has a good potential to
predict gross primary production (GPP) of vegetation. What we measured by remote sensing …

Vegetation productivity is a critical indicator of global ecosystem health and is impacted by
human activities and climate change. A wide range of optical sensing platforms, from ground …

Leaf area index (LAI) and fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR) absorbed by
vegetation have been successfully generated from the Moderate Resolution Imaging …

Satellite remotely sensed fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR) products are
widely used in land-surface monitoring and modeling, especially for estimating global …

The hotspot effect, which refers to the increased reflectance in the solar direction, relies on
the canopy structure. Numerous bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) …

The photon recollision probability (p) and spectral invariant theory (p-theory) have gained
much attention in the vegetation remote sensing community over the past decades. A broad …
