Inferring Amazon leaf demography from satellite observations of leaf area index
S Caldararu, PI Palmer, DW Purves - Biogeosciences, 2012 - bg.copernicus.org
Seasonal and year-to-year variations in leaf cover imprint significant spatial and temporal
variability on biogeochemical cycles, and affect land-surface properties related to climate.
We develop a demographic model of leaf phenology based on the hypothesis that trees
seek an optimal leaf area index (LAI) as a function of available light and soil water, and fit it
to spaceborne observations of LAI over the Amazon basin, 2001–2005. We find the model
reproduces the spatial and temporal LAI distribution whilst also predicting geographic …
