Deriving Maximum Light Use Efficiency From Crop Growth Model and Satellite Data to Improve Crop Biomass Estimation

Maximum light use efficiency (${\text{LUE}}_{\rm{max}}$ ) is an important parameter in biomass estimation models (e.g., the Production Efficiency Models (PEM)) based on remote sensing data; however, it is usually treated as a constant for a specific plant species, leading to large errors in vegetation productivity estimation. This study evaluates the feasibility of deriving spatially variable crop ${\text{LUE}}_{\rm{max}}$ from satellite remote …
