New insights of global vegetation structural properties through an analysis of canopy clumping index, fractional vegetation cover, and leaf area index

Canopy clumping index (CI), fractional vegetation cover (FVC), and leaf area index (LAI) are important vegetation structural variables. Characterization of the spatial and temporal variations of these variables is important for understanding the global vegetation properties, canopy radiative transfe...
