Assessment of the MODIS Leaf Area Index Product (MOD15) in Alaska
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Leaf Area Index (LAI) Product (MOD15A2) was evaluated for the growing seasons of 2000 through 2004 in Alaska. The LAI estimate may be affected by three factors not directly related to canopy leaf area: snow melt, cloud contamination and conifer forest versus broadleaf shrub canopy type. Increases in MODIS LAI values occurred during the s...
متن کاملHyperspectral versus multispectral data for estimating leaf area index in four different biomes
Motivated by the increasing importance of hyperspectral remote sensing data, this study sought to determine whether current-generation narrow-band hyperspectral remote sensing data could better track vegetation leaf area index (LAI) than traditional broad-band multispectral data. The study takes advantage of a unique dataset, wherein field measurements of LAI were acquired at the same general t...
متن کاملTropical Forests of Réunion Island Classified from Airborne Full-Waveform LiDAR Measurements
From an unprecedented experiment using airborne measurements performed over the rich forests of Réunion Island, this paper aims to present a methodology for the classification of diverse tropical forest biomes as retrieved from vertical profiles measured using a full-waveform LiDAR. This objective is met through the retrieval of both the canopy height and the Leaf Area Index (LAI), obtained as ...
متن کاملQuality Assessment of Global Modis Lai Product for the Regional Scale Applications
MODIS LAI product has been increasingly important for analyzing the process and productivity of terrestrial ecosystems at global scale. This study was aimed to assess the quality of global MODIS LAI product for applications in regional and even in local scales. To examine the quality of MODIS LAI data, we produced a reference LAI map that was derived by relating the ground-measured LAI to Lands...
متن کاملestimating forest leaf area index using satellite images : comparison of k - nn based landsat - nFi lai with moDis - rsr based lai product for Finland
Leaf area index (LAI) is a key variable for many ecological models, but it is typically not available from basic forest inventories. In this study, we (1) construct a high-resolution LAI map using k nearest-neighbor (k-NN) imputation based on National Forest Inventory data and Landsat 5 TM images (Landsat-NFI LAI), and (2) examine a moderate-resolution LAI map produced based on reduced simple r...
