Inversion of a radiative transfer model for estimating vegetation LAI and chlorophyll in a heterogeneous grassland

Radiative transfer models have seldom been applied for studying heterogeneous grassland canopies. Here, the potential of radiative transfer modeling to predict LAI and leaf and canopy chlorophyll contents in a heterogeneous Mediterranean grassland is investigated. The widely used PROSAIL model was i...
