TY - GEN T1 - Global 500-m Foliage Clumping Index Data Derived from MODIS BRDF, 2006 AU - N/A DO - 10.3334/ORNLDAAC/1531 UR - https://daac.ornl.gov/cgi-bin/dsviewer.pl?ds_id=1531 AB - This dataset provides global clumping index (CI) data for 2006 derived from the MODIS Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) data product. Clumping index is a key structural parameter of plant canopies which represents the degree of foliage grouping within distinct canopy structures relative to a random distribution. The data are provided at substantially higher resolution (500-m) than existing clumping index data products. PY - 2017 PB - ORNL Distributed Active Archive Center LA - en ER -
