1 Remote Sensing Based Inversion of Gap Fraction for Determination of Leaf Area Index Alemu Gonsamo and Petri Pellikka Department of Geography, University of Helsinki, P.O. Box, FIN- Helsinki, Finland; +-()--; Introduction The major physiological processes of vegetation including photosynthesis and evapotranspiration are determined by the vegetation biophysical parameters that describe the canopy structure. Leaf area index () is one of the principal biophysical parameters in climate, weather, and ecological studies, and has been routinely estimated from remote sensing measurements. is defined as one half the total radiation intercepting leaf area per unit ground horizontal surface area (Gonsamo and Pellikka ). Several numerical models require a continuous field of high spatial and temporal resolution measurements due to heterogeneity and size of vegetation or natural agricultural patches, and the large seasonal dynamics of vegetation. To fulfill these needs, the retrieval methods including the processing of the remotely sensed data expected to be efficient and convenient for the end users. Generally speaking, the success of estimation from remotely sensed data remains cumbersome and there is always a need to calibrate remotely retrieved parameters with ground based observation. This study is aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of the large scale inversion algorithms using red and near-infrared reflectance obtained from high resolution satellite imagery. The algorithms are developed based on the principle commonly used for ground-based optical determination of by applying Beer-Lambert s law and by assuming extinction coefficient for the gap fraction retrieved from spectral vegetation indices (SVIs). Study Area and Data The study site is located in the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence forest in Southern Quebec, Canada. It is part of the Gatineau Park (Figure ), which is managed by the National Capital Commission (NCC) of Canada and centred at o N, o W. The park is about km by km and is mostly temperate hardwood forest. The ground measurements were collected from plots of m by m using hemispherical photography. All photographic procedures are described in Gonsamo et. al. (). Note: for simplicity, the effective, which assumes random foliage distribution, was used in this study and is hereafter referred to as. Plotwise ranged from. to. with average value of along the two sampling transects of Gatineau Park.

2 Radiances in digital counts in the green ( nm), red ( nm), near-infrared ( nm) and shortwave-infrared (- nm) wavelength regions were obtained in m resolution acquired on cloud free day of July,, : local time by the SPOT geometric imaging (HRG) instrument for km km image swath. The SPOT HRG image was orthorectified and atmospherically corrected using four DOS methods (Song et al. ), S radiative transfer code and Top Of the Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance. The MODIS Collection product was acquired in a form of HDF subsets from the Warehouse Inventory Search Tool (WIST) client for searching and ordering earth science data from various NASA and affiliated centres ( ). Only pixels retrieved with main algorithm without cloud contamination were used in further analysis. The combined version PROSPECT leaf model and the SAIL canopy model were used to simulate canopy reflectance data in order to test the robustness of the methodology developed in this study. For this analysis, the ranges of input were (. by increment of., and as the largest ). Three standard soil backgrounds ranging from dark to bright were used. The other input parameters were kept constant to plausible values. Methods Gap fraction (P (O) ) is obtained from scaled difference of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI; ), Scaled Difference Vegetation Index () and Modified Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (). The f c cover estimated using the equations listed in Table is a complement in unity of P (O), i.e., f c = -(P (O) ). Table.

DVI = difference vegetation index. Subsequently, is estimated using Beer-Lambert law s (Gonsamo et. al. ) as: ln( P( o ) ) ln( fc ) = = k k Where k is the extinction coefficient which is related to leaf spectral properties and leaf angles in the canopy and was assumed to be., which is a good approximation for a broadleaved forest considering the near nadir view. The same methodology was applied for independent dataset simulated using PROSPECT+SAIL model with three soil backgrounds. The sensitivity of the methodology was evaluated for different atmospheric correction methods, spatial resolution effects, effectiveness test with ground-based measurement and comparison with product. The estimated from SPOT image was corrected by the factor which was obtained by logarithmic averaging (Lang and Xiang ) of NDVI based gap fraction over the MODIS pixel and the corrected result was further compared with MODIS product.

3 Results All NDVI and based methods are affected by atmospheric correction. The maximum difference averaged all over the image was occurred among based methods (.%), followed by approximately the same value for NDVI based method of Gutman and Ignatov (.%) and lastly based method (.%) (Figure ). appeared to be invariant for varying atmospheric correction methods.

NDVI was found to be very sensitive for any scaling effect applied (Figure ).The maximum difference averaged all over the image was occurred among NDVI based method of (.%), followed by based method (.%) and lastly based method (.%) (Figure ). and appeared to be less affected by varying averaging methods so that relatively insensitive to spatial resolution/scale differences.

Comparison of estimated values using m pixel size SVI values on X-axis averaged over km grids with: inverted from averaged SVI and inverted from averaged reflectance based retrieval resulted in the closest estimate to ground-based measurements (Table ). NDVI based method resulted in very narrow range of. Nevertheless, except that of the CV, the other evaluation parameters (Table ) may introduce bias for the comparison of SVIs based with ground-based measurements due to the difference of the definitions assumed and practically could be achieved.

4 product is overestimated compared to all methods (Figure ). During the late summer, products are known for great and progressive overestimation. The range of measured as a coefficient of variation resulted in very good agreement indicating that both MODIS and SPOT explained the variation similarly. We believe that the logarithmic gap averaging (~clumping index) factor has some physical meaning to explain the architecture of the vegetated canopy which remains to be discussed in detail if there is any need for such kind of parameter for ecosystem process modelling. The same gap averaging algorithm applied to very high resolution airborne data have been proven to substantially increase the agreement of ground-based and airborne retrieval (not presented here). y =.x +.

5 Conclusions On the basis of simulated datasets, ground-based and satellite measurements, and the validity; the accuracy of the approach for retrieval from the information solely contained on image scene was reasonably good. The varying definitions and assumptions used for obtained from ground-based measurements, SPOT image retrieval and MODIS product, and the validity of using simple D radiative transfer model for robustness assessment make almost impossible any complete validation of the approaches. CI has potentials for correction of scale induced errors and further. was found out to be both scale and atmospheric correction invariant provided that the atmosphere all over the image scene is assumed to be constant. was the best method followed by. Alternative retrieval approach was presented in this study which may complement the classical methods.
