Machine learning methods’ performance in radiative transfer model inversion to retrieve plant traits from Sentinel-2 data of a mixed mountain forest

Assessment of vegetation biochemical and biophysical variables is useful when developing indicators for biodiversity monitoring and climate change studies. Here, we compared a radiative transfer model (RTM) inversion by merit function and five machine learning algorithms trained on an RTM simulated...
