This study investigates the performances of four major global Leaf Area Index (LAI) products at 1/11.2° spatial sampling and a monthly time step: ECOCLIMAP climatology, GLOBCARBON (from SPOT/VEGETATION ATSR/AATSR), CYCLOPES SPOT/VEGETATION) MODIS Collection 4 (main algorithm, from MODIS/TERRA). These were intercompared during 2001–2003 period over BELMANIP network sites. Their uncertainty was assessed by comparison with 56 LAI reference maps derived ground measurements. depict realistic...
Initiated in 1984, the Committee Earth Observing Satellites' Working Group on Calibration and Validation (CEOS WGCV) pursues activities to coordinate, standardize advance calibration validation of civilian satellites their data. One subgroup CEOS WGCV, Land Product (LPV), was established 2000 define standard guidelines protocols foster data information exchange relevant land products. Since then, a number leaf area index (LAI) products have become available science community at both global...
Global products of vegetation green Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Fraction Photosynthetically Active Radiation absorbed by (FPAR) are being operationally produced from Terra Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers (MODIS) at 1-km resolution eight-day frequency. This paper summarizes the experience several collaborating investigators on validation MODIS LAI demonstrates close connection between product algorithm refinement activities. The moderate includes three steps: 1) field...
Leaf area index (LAI) is a key parameter of vegetation structure in the fields agriculture, forestry, and ecology. Optical indirect methods based on Beer-Lambert law are widely adopted numerous given their high efficiency feasibility for LAI estimation. These have undergone considerable progress past decades, thereby making them operational ground-based measurement even airborne However, several challenges remain, requirement increasing accuracy new applications. Clumping effect correction...
Abstract. Moderate resolution satellite sensors including MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) already provide more than 10 yr of observations well suited to describe and understand the dynamics earth's surface. However, these time series are associated with significant uncertainties incomplete because cloud cover. This study compares eight methods designed improve continuity by filling gaps consistency smoothing course. It includes exploiting as a whole (iterative...
The NRT algorithm for near-real time estimation of global LAI, FAPAR, and FCOVER variables from SPOT/VEGETATION (VGT) satellite data is described here. It consists three steps: 1) neural networks (NNT) (one each variable) to provide instantaneous estimates daily VGT-P reflectances; 2) a multistep filtering approach eliminate mainly affected by atmospheric effects snow cover; 3) Savitzky-Golay climatology temporal smoothing gap filling techniques ensure consistency continuity as well...
The Copernicus Global Land Service (CGLS) provides global time series of leaf area index (LAI), fraction absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR) and vegetation cover (fCOVER) data at a resolution 300 m frequency 10 days. We performed quality assessment validation Version 1 Collection products that were consistent with the guidelines Product Validation (LPV) subgroup Committee on Earth Observation System (CEOS) Working Group Calibration (WGCV). spatiotemporal patterns V1 LAI,...
This study investigates the representativeness of land cover and leaf area index (LAI) sampled by a global network sites to be used for evaluation biophysical products, such as LAI or fAPAR, derived from current satellite systems.

The objective of this study was to determine the impact lowering nitrogen supply from 12 6 or 4 mM NO3− on tomato fruit yield and quality during growing season. Lowering had a low commercial (−7.5%), but it reduced plant vegetative growth increased dry matter content, improving consequently quality. Fruit improved due lower acid (10−16%) soluble sugar content (5−17%). some phenolic compounds (rutin, caffeic glycoside, derivate) total ascorbic tended be higher in with lowest supply,...
One of the most common approaches to reducing environmental impact nitrogen (N) fertilisation in intensive agrosystems is adjust N input crop requirement. This adjustment frequently related nutrition index (NNI) based on concepts critical and actual absorbed (kg/ha) canopy (respectively, NC CNC). Accurate estimation CNC at field scale over large areas freely available satellite imagery thus a key issue address. Relying dataset farmers' fields, this study highlights high correlation (R2 =...
