Hello all,

I am about to estimate leaf area index (in the leafed period) and canopy area index (in the leafless period) of some sparse oak forest stands. Since these forest are very sparse in density, we should consider, first, some individual trees to estimate and generalize these individual estimates to whole stands then. So, we need to estimate LAI and CAI of single trees. Meanwhile, change detection of aforementioned indexes in various phenological stages is the reason for using hemispherical photos.

Best wishes,

Omid,
