Abstract Globe-LFMC 2.0, an updated version of Globe-LFMC, is a comprehensive dataset over 280,000 Live Fuel Moisture Content (LFMC) measurements. These measurements were gathered through field campaigns conducted in 15 countries spanning 47 years. In contrast to its prior version, 2.0 incorporates 120,000 additional data entries, introduces more than 800 new sampling sites, and comprises LFMC values obtained from samples collected until the calendar year 2023. Each entry within provides...
In California, water is a perennial concern. As competition for resources increases due to growth in population, California’s tree nut farmers are committed improving the efficiency of used food production. There an imminent need have reliable methods that provide information about temporal and spatial variability crop requirements, which allow make irrigation decisions at field scale.

Leaf pigment contents, such as chlorophylls a and b content (C ) or carotenoid (Car), the leaf area index (LAI) are recognized indicators of plants’ forests’ health status that can be estimated through hyperspectral imagery. Their measurement on seasonal yearly basis is critical to monitor plant response adaptation stress, droughts. While extensively done over dense canopies, estimation these variables tree-grass ecosystems with very low overstory LAI (mean site < 1 m 2 /m ), woodland...
This article presents a novel methodology for the characterization of tree vegetation phenology, based on indices time series reconstruction and adapted to urban areas.

A dataset was produced for 117 urban trees in four monospecific tree rows the city of Rennes, northwestern France. The were measured nine 2- to 3-day measurement sessions from Apr-Sep 2021. includes (i) leaf traits (
Clay minerals play an important role in shrinking–swelling of soils and off–road vehicle mobility mainly due to the presence smectites including montmorillonites. Since are composed different intimately mixed, accurate estimation its abundance is challenging. Imaging spectroscopy short wave infrared spectral region (SWIR) combined with unmixing methods a good candidate estimate clay mineral abundance. However, performance mineral-dependent may be enhanced by using appropriate preprocessings....
The estimation and mapping of vegetation traits from satellite hyperspectral imagery is entering a new era, as multiple missions have recently started more are currently in preparatory phase. With expected ground sampling distances (GSD) ranging 8 to 30 m, these could complement each other, especially over spatially heterogeneous environments where the canopy cover (CC) low. This study focused on retrieval five (gap fraction, leaf chlorophylls (C ab) carotenoids (Car) contents, equivalent...
Imaging spectroscopy has demonstrated its interest in characterizing the biochemical, biophysical and structural properties of vegetation, natural agricultural soils, as well artificial surfaces. Following Hyperion mission, new space missions have emerged (PRISMA, EnMap), or are under study (CHIME, SBG). However, one their main limitations lies spatial resolution that induces a large number mixed pixels reducing potential for discrimination very heterogeneous areas. The BIODIVERSITY mission...
Gap Fraction, leaf pigment contents (content of chlorophylls a and b (Cab) carotenoids content (Car)), Leaf Mass per Area (LMA), Equivalent Water Thickness (EWT) are considered relevant indicators forests’ health status, influencing many biological physical processes. Various methods exist to estimate these variables, often relying on the extensive use Radiation Transfer Models (RTMs). While 3D RTMs more realistic model open canopies, their complexity leads important computation times that...
Urban trees play an important role in mitigating effects of climate change and provide essential ecosystem services. However, the urban environment can stress trees, requiring use effective monitoring methods to assess their health functionality.

Key leaf functional traits, such as chlorophyll and carotenoids content (Cab Cxc), equivalent water thickness (EWT), mass per area (LMA), are essential to the characterization monitoring of ecosystem function. Spectroscopy provides access these four traits by relying on their specific spectral absorptions over 0.4–2.5 µm domain. In this study, we compare performance three categories estimation methods retrieve from laboratory directional-hemispherical reflectance transmittance measurements:...
Mediterranean forests represent critical areas that are increasingly affected by the frequency of droughts and fires, anthropic activities land use changes. Optical remote sensing data give access to several essential biodiversity variables, such as species traits (related vegetation biophysical biochemical composition), which can help better understand structure functioning these forests. However, their reliability highly depends on scale observation spectral configuration sensor. Thus,...
