GROUNDED EO: Data-driven Sentinel-2 LAI and FAPAR retrieval using Gaussian processes trained with extensive fiducial reference measurements (2025)
Journal Article

Due to their importance in monitoring and modelling Earth's climate, the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) designates leaf area index (LAI) and the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR) as essential climate variables (...

Leaf-wood classification of terrestrial laser scanning data with co-registered near-infrared photography (2025)
Journal Article

Due to their importance for climate change monitoring, modelling and adaptation, vegetation structural properties including leaf area index (LAI) are designated essential climate variables (ECVs) by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). Ter... Read More about Leaf-wood classification of terrestrial laser scanning data with co-registered near-infrared photography.

Optimizing the Temperature Sensitivity of the Isoprene Emission Model MEGAN in Different Ecosystems Using a Metropolis-Hastings Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method (2025)
Journal Article

Isoprene is a reactive hydrocarbon emitted to the atmosphere in large quantities by terrestrial vegetation. Annual total isoprene emissions exceed 300 Tg a−1, but emission rates vary widely among plant species and are sensitive to meteorological and...

On the consistency and stability of vegetation biophysical variables retrievals from Landsat-8/9 and Sentinel-2 (2025)
Journal Article

Systematic decametric resolution global mapping of vegetation biophysical variables, including fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR), fraction of vegetation cover (fCOVER), and leaf area index (LAI), is required to support...
