Abstract
The importance of APAR models for the study of biomass production from space requires an analysis of their performances on natural mixed pixels. This is the objective of present study which gives quantitative values for the role of heterogeneity on the APAR assessment from space. These results show that the accuracy of the APAR as currently computed from satellite data cannot be considered as acceptable. Wegive a new APAR model adapted to heterogeneous pixels.
