1. 16. Investigating the impact of ground reflectance on satellite estimates of forest leaf area index

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Per Persson; [2007]
   Keywords : physical geography; bladyteindex; LAI; markreflektans; ground reflectance; geography; naturgeografi; geografi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Ground reflectance of forests has been suggested as a main source weakening the strength of relationships using satellite reflectance to predict forest leaf area index (LAI), a key input variable in models of carbon balance and global circulation. In this project a radiative transfer model was used to simulate the influence of ground reflectance in forest canopy reflectance in twenty forest stands in Scania (Southern Sweden). READ MORE

3. 17. Estimation of leaf area index in southern Sweden with optimal modelling and Landsat 7 ETM+Scene

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Pontus Olofsson; Richard Stenström; [2000]
   Keywords : cartography; pedology; geomorphology; physical geography; optical modelling; satellite imaging; remote sensing; leaf reflectance; climatology; naturgeografi; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Canopy reflectance models are used as a means of estimating vegetation parameters and simulating reflectance signatures of vegetation surfaces. A forest canopy reflectance model is tested on deciduous forest collections in southern Sweden. READ MORE
