Brief description Leaf to landscape: near-instant vegetation growth and productivity rates. This project aims to develop a remote sensing approach for more accurate monitoring of vegetation growth rate and productivity, and the fast-changing vegetation stress dynamics across agricultural and natural landscapes. Algorithms and methods will be developed to use and analyse newly available Earth Observation satellite data to map and monitor plant primary productivity. This project will combine direct plant function measurements, at leaf and canopy scales, with imaging and ranging data in 3D computer modelling techniques. This will address the need to optimise food production and to sustainably manage ecosystem services in a changing climate, with preferential benefits for extensive and inaccessible Australian landscapes.
