Abstract:The leaf area index (LAI) is a crucial parameter for analyzing terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycles and global climate change. Obtaining high spatiotemporal resolution forest stand vegetation LAI products over large areas is essential for an accurate understanding of forest ecosystems. This study takes the northwestern part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (the northern section of the Greater Khingan Mountains) in northern China as the research area. It also generates the LAI time series product of the 8… Show more
