Retrieving leaf chlorophyll content using a matrix-based vegetation index combination approach

Leaf chlorophyll content (ChlLeaf), which is responsible for light harvesting for photosynthesis, is an important parameter for carbon cycle modeling and agriculture monitoring at regional and global scales. Since the spectral signals of chlorophyll content and leaf area are highly coupled, it is required to remove the effect of the LAI on the retrieval of ChlLeaf from satellite data. In this paper, an approach for the retrieval of ChlLeaf was …
