Modeling leaf area index in North America using a process‐based terrestrial ecosystem model

Abstract Leaf area index (LAI) is often used to quantify plant production and evapotranspiration with terrestrial ecosystem models (TEMs). This study evaluated the LAI simulation in North America using a data assimilation technique and a process‐based TEM as well as in situ and satellite data. We fi...
