This review article gives an overview of how satellite observations are used to feed or tune
crop models and improve their capability to predict crop yields in a region. Relations …

Under‐as well as overfertilization with nitrogen (N) will result in economic loss for the farmer
due to reduced yields and quality of the products. Also from an ecological perspective, it is …

A growing number of studies have focused on evaluating spectral indices in terms of their
sensitivity to vegetation biophysical parameters, as well as to external factors affecting …

Hyperspectral reflectance data representing a wide range of canopies were simulated using
the combined PROSPECT+ SAIL model. The simulations were used to study the stability of …

Fifty-three leaves were randomly sampled on different deciduous tree species, representing
a wide range of chlorophyll contents, tree ages, and leaf structural features. Their reflectance …

The regional-scale climatic impact of urbanization is examined using two land cover
parameters, fractional vegetation cover (Fr) and surface moisture availability (M0). The …

The study shows that leaf area index (LAI), leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) and canopy
chlorophyll content (CCC) can be mapped in a heterogeneous Mediterranean grassland …

Spectral vegetation indices (VIs) are frequently used to estimate the amount of live green
canopy material. They have generally been developed as an attempt to reduce spectral …

Operational monitoring of vegetative cover by remote sensing currently involves the
utilisation of vegetation indices (VIs), most of them being functions of the reflectance in red …

The main objective was to determine whether partial least squares (PLS) regression
improves grass/herb biomass estimation when compared with hyperspectral indices, that is …
