Upcoming satellite hyperspectral sensors require powerful and robust methodologies for
making optimum use of the rich spectral data. This paper reviews the widely applied coupled …

Plant trait data have been used in various studies related to ecosystem functioning,
community ecology, and assessment of ecosystem services. Evidences are that plant …

The Copernicus Global Land Service (CGLS) provides global time series of leaf area index
(LAI), fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR) and fraction of …

Agriculture faces the challenge of providing food, fibre and energy from limited land
resources to satisfy the changing needs of a growing world population. Global megatrends …

Accurately estimating vegetation productivity is important in research on terrestrial
ecosystems, carbon cycles and climate change. Eight-day gross primary production (GPP) …

From in situ measured woody cover we develop a phenology driven model to estimate the
canopy cover of woody species in the Sahelian drylands at 1 km scale. The model estimates …

The validation study of leaf area index (LAI) products over rugged surfaces not only gives
additional insights into data quality of LAI products, but deepens understanding of …

Abstract The Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) is
recognized as an essential climate variable (ECVs), playing a critical role in the estimation of …

Geostationary and polar-orbiting remote sensors have different opportunities to observe
wildfires. While polar-orbiting sensors have been favoured in wildfire observations …

The fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR) is a critical input
parameter in many climate and ecological models. The accuracy of satellite FAPAR products …
