Derivation and Evaluation of LAI from the ICESat-2 Data over the NEON Sites: The Impact of Segment Size and Beam Type

The leaf area index (LAI) is a critical variable for forest ecosystem processes. Passive optical and active LiDAR remote sensing have been used to retrieve LAI. LiDAR data have good penetration to provide vertical structure distribution and deliver the ability to estimate forest LAI, such as the Ice...
