When calculating the leaf area index, it plays a role whether the raster data is taken against the ground or the sky, scale or location. In the paper, it is shown how the leaf area index is calculated from hemispherical photos and from Sentinel 2 and Landsat 8. For the entire workflow open-source software were used. Thanks to the characteristics of satellite data and the fact that one place is taken regularly, analyses of changes in the leaf area index can be monitored.
