Forest, Crop and Grassland Leaf Area Index Estimation Using Remote Sensing: A Review of Current Research Methods, Sensors, Estimation Models and Accomplishments

Leaf area index (LAI) is an important parameter in plant ecophysiology; it can be used to quantify foliage directly and as a measure of the photosynthetic active area and, thus, the area subject to transpiration in vegetation. The aim of this paper was to review work on remote sensing methods of est...
