Abstract

Biomass and Leaf Area Index (LAI) are crucial parameters for accurate evapotranspiration modeling. LAI is particularly useful for assessing the photosynthetic capacity of turfgrass canopies. However, there is a shortage of instruments available to measure ground-based LAI for urban turfgrass, necessitating the use of destructive methods to generate LAI input for remote-sensing-based surface energy balance models. To address this issue, turfgrass samples were collected and then their leaves were scanned. Using unsupervised classification technique, K-means, and the scanned leaves, leaf area was estimate to calculate LAI for urban turfgrass. To facilitate the process, we developed a Google Collaboratory notebook that employs the K-means algorithm for estimating leaf area.
