Time Series of Leaf Area Index for Reclamation Sites in Alberta 2016-2025

Leaf area index (LAI) quantifies the density of vegetation irrespective of land cover. LAI quantifies the total foliage surface area per groud surface area. LAI has been identified by the Global Climate Observing System as an essential climate variable required for ecosystem,weather and climate modelling and monitoring. This product consists of time series of LAI observed between 2016 and 2025 over reclamation sites in Alberta, Canada May and October. The temporal frequency depends on cloud cover.
