Estimating leaf moisture content at global scale from passive microwave satellite observations of vegetation optical depth
<p>The moisture content of vegetation canopies controls various ecosystem processes such as plant productivity, transpiration, mortality, and flammability. Leaf moisture content (here defined as the ratio of leaf water mass to leaf dry biomass, or live-fuel moisture content, LFMC) is a vegetat...
