Performance of Four Optical Methods in Estimating Leaf Area Index at Elementary Sampling Unit of <i>Larix principis-rupprechtii</i> Forests

Optical methods are frequently used as a routine method to obtain the elementary sampling unit (ESU) leaf area index (LAI) of forests. However, few studies have attempted to evaluate whether the ESU LAI obtained from optical methods matches the accuracy required by the LAI map product validation com...
