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 (...

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...

Not just a pretty picture: Mapping Leaf Area Index at 10 m resolution using Sentinel-2 (2024)
Journal Article

Achieving the Global Climate Observing System goal of 10 m resolution leaf area index (LAI) maps is critical for applications related to climate adaptation, sustainable agriculture, and ecosystem monitoring. Five strategies for producing 10 m LAI map... Read More about Not just a pretty picture: Mapping Leaf Area Index at 10 m resolution using Sentinel-2.

Hyperspectral Leaf Area Index and Chlorophyll Retrieval over Forest and Row-Structured Vineyard Canopies (2024)
Journal Article

As an unprecedented stream of decametric hyperspectral observations becomes available from recent and upcoming spaceborne missions, effective algorithms are required to retrieve vegetation biophysical and biochemical variables such as leaf area index...
