TL;DR: Results confirm the importance of the red-edge bands on particularly Sentinel-2 for agricultural applications, because of the combination with its high spatial resolution of 20 m and linear estimators of canopy chlorophyll and N content.

TL;DR: A review of state-of-the-art retrieval methods for quantitative terrestrial bio-geophysical variable extraction using optical remote sensing imagery and the prospects of implementing these methods into future processing chains for operational retrieval of vegetation properties are presented and discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the corrected near-infrared reflectance was corrected for soil background (in particular differences in soil moisture content) and subsequently used for estimating LAI by applying the inverse of a special case of the Mitscherlich function.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of existing literature to determine the retrieval accuracy of the continuous plant traits is presented, focusing on three categorical plant traits (plant growth and life forms, flammability properties and photosynthetic pathways and activity) and five continuous plant trait (plant height, leaf phenology, leaf mass per area, nitrogen and phosphorous concentration or content).
