Other claims from this paper (6)
- Method / resource Model sensitivity analysis found a maximum error of up to 26%.
- Method / resource The estimated overstory LAI slightly underestimated field observations.
- Method / resource The method reproduced spatial LAI patterns better than CYCLOPES and MOD15.
- Method / resource MOD15 showed unrealistically strong temporal variability.
- Method / resource MOD15 LAI increased before overstory leaf appearance.
- Method / resource CYCLOPES LAI increased at the correct time and evolved smoothly.
