The canopy chlorophyll content for the Bavarian Forest National Park (BFNP) in Germany at 10 meters resolution on monthly basis for the year 2020. Dataset generated under Showcase. 4, pilot 4.3 myVARIABLE of the e-shape project. Canopy Chlorophyll Content (CCC) is the total amount of chlorophyll a and b pigments in a contiguous group of plants per unit ground area often expressed in mg/m2 (Gitelson et al., 2005). It is a product of leaf chlorophyll content (i.e., the chlorophyll content of a fresh green leaf divided by its one-side area (µmg/cm2)) and the leaf area index. CCC is a terrestrial ecosystem function EBV that describes the distribution of chlorophyll pigments within the 3D canopy surface. This defines the total photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by the canopy (Gitelson et al., 2003; Ustin et al., 2009). The chlorophyll content is one of a constellation of co-evolved traits that vary together across species in relation to contrasting environmental conditions (Reich et al., 2003). Monitoring the dynamics of the CCC helps to understand the adaptation of forest, crop, and other plant canopies to such factors (Feret et al. 2017). As a result, the amount and spatial distribution of chlorophyll content is vital for measuring and understanding plant growth, ecosystem primary productivity and ecosystem dynamics.

The method of production of the original data.
Hover to see a suggestion for a minimum description. Sentinel-2A images with 10-meter resolution were acquired in 2018 (from April to October), 2019 (from March to October) and 2020 (from March to September) on a monthly basis, on a relatively cloud-free date(s) (< 10% cloud cover), and were used to predict the Canopy Chlorophyll Content (CCC) for the Bavarian Forest National Park. For retrieval of the CCC, two simple ratio vegetation indices optimized for forests and non-forest vegetation were applied (Ali et al., 2020a; Ali et al., 2020b). Reference: Ali, A.

Miscellaneous information about the data, not captured elsewhere. E-shape is a unique initiative that combines decades of public investment in Earth Observation and cloud capabilities into services for the decision-makers, the citizens, the industry and the researchers. It allows Europe to position itself as a global force in Earth observation by leveraging Copernicus, using existing European capacities and improving user uptake of the data from GEO assets. In the e-shape initiative, 27 cloud-based pilot applications under the seven thematic areas address societal challenges, foster entrepreneurship and support sustainable development in alignment with the three main GEO priorities (e.g., SDGs, Paris Agreement and Sendaï Framework).
