Retrieving Leaf Chlorophyll Content by Incorporating Variable Leaf Surface Reflectance in the PROSPECT Model

Leaf chlorophyll content plays a vital role in plant photosynthesis. The PROSPECT model has been widely used for retrieving leaf chlorophyll content from remote sensing data over various plant species. However, despite wide variations in leaf surface reflectance across different plant species and environmental conditions, leaf surface reflectance is assumed to be the same for different leaves in the PROSPECT model. This work extends the …
