Optical remote sensing allows to efficiently monitor forest ecosystems at regional and global scales.However,most of the widely used optical forward models and backward estimation methods are only suitable for forest canopies in flat areas.To evaluate the recent progress in forest remote sensing over complex terrain,a satellite-airborne-ground synchronous Fine scale Optical Remote sensing Experiment of mixed Stand over complex Terrain(FOREST)was conducted over a 1 km×1 km key experiment area(KEA)located in the Genhe Reserve Areain 2016.Twenty 30 m×30 m elementary sampling units(ESUs)were established to represent the spatiotemporal variations of the KEA.Structural and spectral parameters were simultaneously measured for each ESU.As a case study,we first built two 3D scenes of the KEA with individual-tree and voxel-based approaches,and then simulated the canopy reflectance using the LargE-Scale remote sensing data and image Simulation framework over heterogeneous 3D scenes(LESS).The correlation coefficient between the LESS-simulated reflectance and the airborne-measured reflectance reaches 0.68-0.73 in the red band and 0.56-0.59 in the near-infrared band,indicating a good quality of the experiment dataset.More validation studies of the related forward models and retrieval methods will be done.

二向反射分布函数包含地表反射的方向性特征信息。研究二向反射分布函数BRDF(Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function)形状对植被结构参数的敏感性,有助于理解植被的二向性反射规律,进而反演植被参数。本文耦合双冠层反射率模型和核驱动的罗斯厚核-李氏稀疏互易核模型,利用EFAST全局敏感性分析方法,以各向异性平整指数为BRDF形状变化的衡量指标,研究了不同天空光比例(SKYL)下,各向异性平整指数AFX对植被参数敏感度的变化,以及SKYL=0.1时AFX的敏感性。结果表明:(1)在红波段,上、下层叶面积指数、上层叶绿素含量,以及上层叶倾角分布是AFX的敏感参数,在近红外波段,上、下层叶面积指数LAI是AFX的敏感参数。(2)冠层尺度上的参数敏感度总体大于叶片尺度。(3)晴天时(SKYL=0.1),红波段主敏感度较大的参数分别是上层LAI、上层叶倾角分布和下层叶片结构参数,近红外波段主敏感度较大的参数主要是上、下层LAI。
