A robust vegetation index for remotely assessing chlorophyll content of dorsiventral leaves across several species in different seasons

Abstract Background Leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) provides valuable information about plant physiology. Most of the published chlorophyll vegetation indices at the leaf level have been based on the spectral characteristics of the adaxial leaf surface, thus, they are not appropriate for estimating L...
