How Does the NDVI Decreases Over Evergreen Forests in Winter?
EGU 2020: A Novel Perspective on Mapping Snow Cover Under Forest Canopy With Sentinel-2 Multispectral Optical Satellite Sensor Over Black Forest Germany 6
1. Seasonal Drop in Chlorophyll Activity in the Black Forest 2. Under Canopy Snow Covers Moss on the Forest Floor in the Black Forest
3. Seasonal Change in the Solar Zenith Angle
