Artificial neural network models predicting the leaf area index: a case study in pure even-aged Crimean pine forests from Turkey

Abstract Background Leaf Area Index (LAI) is an important parameter used in monitoring and modeling of forest ecosystems. The aim of this study was to evaluate performance of the artificial neural network (ANN) models to predict the LAI by comparing the regression analysis models as the classical me...
