Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate phenomenons of the plant physiology and ecology using the satellite observation data in a cool-temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest in central Japan. We compared the satellite observation data (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index: NDVI) with the ground observation data (shoot phenology change, litter fall, and SPAD). The seasonal variability of satellite-based NDVI showed good correlations with those of LAI (Leaf Area Index) and photosynthetic capacity.
