Title
Theoretical limits to the estimation of the leaf area index on the basis of visible and near-infrared remote sensing data
Abstract
The Leaf Area Index (LAI) of a plant canopy is an important environmental parameter required by various applications. It would be highly desirable to be able to estimate this parameter on the basis of satellite remote sensing data in the optical spectral range. However, LAI affects the propagation of light in a plant canopy (and therefore its measurable reflectance factor) exclusively through a bo...
