Estimating Absorbed Photosynthetic Radiation and Leaf Area Index from Spectral Reflectance in Wheat<sup>1</sup>
Abstract Some plant growth models require estimates of leaf area and absorbed radiation for simulating evapotranspiration and photosynthesis. Previous studies indicated that spe...
BIOME3: An equilibrium terrestrial biosphere model based on ecophysiological constraints, resource availability, and competition among plant functional types
The equilibrium terrestrial biosphere model BIOME3 simulates vegetation distribution and biogeochemistry, and couples vegetation distribution directly to biogeochemistry. Model ...
Satellite remote sensing of primary production
Abstract Leaf structure and function are shown to result in distinctive variations in the absorption and reflection of solar radiation from plant canopies. The leaf properties t...
Canopy reflectance, photosynthesis and transpiration
Abstract A two-stream approximation model of radiative transfer is used to calculate values of hemispheric canopy reflectance in the visible and near-infrared wavelength interva...
Towards a quantitative interpretation of vegetation indices Part 1: Biophysical canopy properties and classical indices
Abstract The information content of vegetation indices currently derived from satellite observations is discussed using a physically‐based approach. These indices can, in princi...
