Deriving leaf area index reference maps using temporally continuous data: a comparison of upscaling approaches (2020)
Journal Article
Brown, L., Ogutu, B., Camacho, F., Fuster, B., & Dash, J. (2020). Deriving leaf area index reference maps using temporally continuous data: a comparison of upscaling approaches. IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 14, 624-630. https://doi.org/10.1109/JSTARS.2020.3040080

To further progress the validation of global leaf area index (LAI) products, temporally continuous reference data are a key requirement, as periodic field campaigns fail to adequately characterize temporal dynamics. Progress in cost-effective automat... Read More about Deriving leaf area index reference maps using temporally continuous data: a comparison of upscaling approaches.
