Estimation of LAI and above-ground biomass in deciduous forests: Western Ghats of Karnataka, India
TLDR
The regression models generated in the study between NDVI and LAI; LAI and biomass can also help in generating spatial biomass map using RS data alone as well as for the validation of various coarse resolution satellite products derived from the ground-based measurements alone.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying and mapping biodiversity and ecosystem services : Utility of a multi-season NDVI based Mahalanobis distance surrogate
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a simple multi-date NDVI based Mahalanobis distance measure (called eco-climatic distance) that quantifies forest type variability across a moisture gradient for complex tropical forested landscapes on a single ecologically interpretable, continuous scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is Atmospheric Phosphorus Pollution Altering Global Alpine Lake Stoichiometry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that contemporary global patterns in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) emissions drive large hemispheric variation in precipitation chemistry, and that these global patterns of nutrient emission and deposition (N:P) are in turn closely reflected in the water chemistry of naturally oligotrophic lakes.

Solving renewable energy source selection problems using a q-rung orthopair fuzzy-based integrated decision-making approach
Raghunathan Krishankumar,S. Supraja Nimmagadda,Pratibha Rani,Arunodaya Raj Mishra,Kattur Soundarapandian Ravichandran,Amir H. Gandomi +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated decision-making framework for the systematic selection of a renewable energy source (RES) from a set of RESs based on sustainability attributes is proposed, and the results are compared with state-of-the-art methods.

Hyperspectral Vegetation Indices and Their Relationships with Agricultural Crop Characteristics
TL;DR: In this article, three types of hyperspectral predictors were tested: optimum multiple narrow band reflectance (OMNBR), narrow band normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and the soil-adjusted vegetation indices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retrieving Leaf Area Index of Boreal Conifer Forests Using Landsat TM Images
Jing M. Chen,Josef Cihlar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the TRAC (Tracing Radiation and Architecture of Canopies) to quantify the effect of canopy architecture on optical measurements of leaf area index, and found that effective LAI is less variable and easier to measure than LAI, and is also an intrinsic attribute of plant canopies.

Net primary production in tropical forests: an evaluation and synthesis of existing field data
Deborah A. Clark,Sandra Brown,David W. Kicklighter,Jeffrey Q. Chambers,John R. Thomlinson,S Jian Ni,Elisabeth A. Holland +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize the data in the primary literature on NPP in old-growth tropical forests to produce a consistent data set on net primary production for these forests.
