Divergent impacts of temperature and precipitation changes on leaf area index of deciduous broadleaf and needleleaf forests in the Northern Hemisphere.

The estimation of canopy attributes from digital cover photography by two different image analysis methods

Proximal sensing methods using digital photography have gained wide acceptance for describing and quantifying canopy properties. Digital hemispherical photography (DHP) is the most widely used photographic technique for canopy description. ...

Assimilation of ASCAT Radar Backscatter Coefficients over Southwestern France

In this work, Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) backscatter data are directly assimilated into the interactions between soil, biosphere, and atmosphere (ISBA) land surface model using Meteo-France’s global Land Data Assimilation System (LDAS-M...

Comparison of Deep Learning Models for LAI Simulation and Interpretable Hydrothermal Coupling in the Loess Plateau

As the world’s largest loess deposit region, the Loess Plateau’s vegetation dynamics are crucial for its regional water–heat balance and ecosystem functioning. Leaf Area Index (LAI) serves as a key indicator bridging canopy architecture and...
