Projections of leaf area index in earth system models
The area of leaves in the plant canopy, measured as leaf area index (LAI), modulates key land–atmosphere interactions, including the exchange of energy, moisture, carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>), and other trace gases and aerosols, and is therefore an essential variable in predicting ter...
