 Global Leaf Area Index Data from Field Measurements, 1932-2000
In order to develop the data set, it was necessary to (1) review the literature, (2) compile existing and additional estimates of LAI and ancillary variables (including identification of measurement methods for each value and acquisition of site coordinates), (3) conduct data quality assessment, and (4) write and review documentation.
Further details are available in the accompanying Technical Memorandum (Scurlock et al., 2001), which includes a brief definition of leaf area index and methods for its measurement (ranging from leaf weight/litterfall to optical instruments such as the LI-COR 2000).
It also discusses why the older literature tends to contain higher values of LAI than later references (methodologies are not strictly comparable, and there is a noticeable decline in reported values over time).

So focused is the editors' scrutiny of the work, and yet so inclusive their range, that the figure of the creator appears with more distinct lineaments than in any other collection of Stein I know.
More than just influencing prose and poetry as one of our premier innovators of language, she is, you could say, one of the figures who invented 20th Century writing."
