Title
The effect of reflectance from larch forest floor on the seasonal variations in MODIS-derived surface reflectance
Abstract
This study examined the effect of forest floor reflectance on the MODIS-derived surface reflectance data using MODIS data in Yakutsk, eastern Siberia, around-based leaf area index data, and three-dimensional radiative transfer model in the forest canopy. From the MODIS data analysis, we found a good correlation between MODIS band 2 (near infrared) reflectance and around-based LAI seasonality. The MODIS band 1 (red) reflectance has no seasonality after snow melting. However the simulation results of the forest canopy reflectance suggested that the sensitivity of reflectance to the canopy leaf area density was small and it was a contradictory to the MODIS data analysis. These results may indicate that the timing of the seasonality in forest floor grasses coincides with the seasonality in forest canopy because forest floor LAI is still sensitive to the top of canopy reflectance. This hypothesis should be intensively investigated in the future study.
