2017
Biogeosciences
Spatially and seasonally variable forest understory reflectivity helps to account for the effects of the forest background on LAI retrieval while compared with constant forest background. ...
Significant seasonal variations occur for understory vegetation in these zones with LAI values up to 2–3 from June to August. ...

Strong cooling induced by stand-replacing fires through albedo in Siberian larch forests
2018
Scientific Reports
The net albedo-induced forcing of the Siberian larch forests in the future would hinge on the interaction between the fire-induced cooling effect and the climate-induced warming effect, both of which will ...
The Siberian larch forests, taking up about a fifth of the global boreal biome, are different from the North American boreal forests in that they generally do not undergo a secondary succession. ...

Seasonal Reflectance Courses of Forests
[chapter]
2012
New Advances and Contributions to Forestry Research
Based on empirical reflectance data and radiative transfer modelling, Kobayashi et al. (2007) reported that seasonal changes in a larch forest understory (or forest floor) influence both the absolute ...
Hence, the concept of "land surface phenology" (Friedl et al., 2006) is often used to describe the seasonal pattern of variation in vegetated land surfaces observed from remote sensing. ...
