Fig. 7From: Remote estimation of canopy leaf area index and chlorophyll content in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis (Carrière) J. Houz.) forest using MODIS reflectance dataScatter plots for the measured leaf area index (LAI) and the a estimated LAI derived by using Eq. (6), b raw MODIS LAI, and c corrected MODIS LAI derived by using the “upper-envelope” smoothing method according to Gu et al. (2006). Circles represent LAI in 2011. Squares represent the LAI in 2014. Triangles represent the LAI in 2015. See Table 1 for the day of year (DOY) data. The solid line represents the regression line between the measured LAI and estimated LAI. The dashed line represents the 1:1 lineBack to article page
