Ground Reference Observations Underlying Novel Decametric Vegetation Data Products from Earth Observation

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.

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 (...

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...
