TL;DR: In this paper, a group of Canadian scientists acquired LAI measurements during the summer of 1998 in deciduous, conifer, and mixed forests, and in cropland.

TL;DR: Results for a full range of slopes, aspects, and crown closures showed SCS+C provided improved corrections compared to the SCS and four other photometric approaches (cosine, C, Minnaert, statistical-empirical) for a Rocky Mountain forest setting in western Canada.

TL;DR: In this article, spectral mixture analysis was used to determine areal fractions of sunlit canopy, sunlit background, and shadow at subpixel scales for predicting biophysical variables such as biomass, LAI, and NPP.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multiteam field effort was mounted to measure the nadir midday understory reflectance for the flux tower sites during 1994 Boreal Ecosystem-Atmospheric Study (BOREAS) field campaigns between February and October, specifically during the winter focused field campaign (FFC-W), the spring thaw focused field campaigns (FLCF-T), and the three intensive field campaigns, which sample vegetation phenological change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the performance of image texture processing and integration with ancillary topographic data for a moderate relief, boreal environment in Gros Morne National Park, eastern Canada.
