1. Estimating Crop Leaf Area Index from Remotely Sensed Data: Scale Effects and Scaling Methods

Leaf area index (LAI) of crop canopies is significant for growth condition monitoring and crop yield estimation, and estimating LAI based on remote sensing observations is the normal way to assess regional crop growth. However, the scale effects of LAI make multi-scale observations harder to be fully and effectively utilized for LAI estimation. A systematical statistical strategy... Y. Dong , J. Wang , C. Li , G.
