Introduction
To monitor the changes on continental biomes, the Copernicus Global Land serviceprovides, in a timely manner, a set of biophysical variables describing the state, thedynamism and the disturbances of the terrestrial vegetation.
Useful for global crop monitoring and the food security applications; environmentalmanagement (desertification, drought, soil erosion risk); land carbon modelling, and weather and climate forecasting.

The Leaf Area Index is defined as half the total area of leaves per unit horizontal ground area. The satellite-derived value corresponds to the total green LAI of all the canopy layers, including the understory. Typicallyranges between 0-7 m2/m2

LAI, FAPAR, FCOVER
The FAPAR quantifies the fraction of the solar radiation absorbed by green leaves for the photosynthesis activity ( 0 – 1
unitless). It is dependent of illumination conditions. The satellite values corresponds to direct illumination at the satellite overpass (10:15 solar local time), which is close to a daily integrated value.

NDVI/VCI/VPI

Evolution to 300m product, including gap-filling (smoothing) methods
The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is an indicator of thegreenness of the biomes.
Despite it is not a physical property of surfaces, it is still very used due to itssimple formulation: NDVI = (NIR – Red)/(NIR + Red)

VCI / VPI
●VCI is computed as:VCI yp = (NDVI - MINp) / (MAXp - MINp)with NDVI the observed NDVI value
•The VCI “Vegetation Condition Index” and the VPI “Vegetation Production Index” are two easyways to assess the overall vegetation condition by referencing the current value of the NDVIwith the long-term statistics for the same period.
● The VPI is apercentile ranking ofthe current NDVIvalue against itshistorical range ofvariability.

Dry Matter Productivity
DMP, or Dry Matter Productivity, represents the overall growth rate or dry biomass increase ofthe vegetation, expressed in kilograms of dry matter per hectare per day (kgDM/ha/day).
DMP is directly related to NPP (Net Primary Productivity, in gC/m²/day), customized for agro-statistical purposes.
Light Use Efficiency model
(similar to Monteith, 1972)
ongoing evolution: improved accuracies through (i) using GEOV2 FAPAR (smoother), (ii) biome specific settings and (iii) use water limitation.

The Burnt Area product maps the burnt scars, and gives temporal information on the fire season.
The maps of Burnt Area are recognized as an Essential Climate Variable (ECV) by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).

Pasture productivity over agro-forestal areas
The GEOV1 FAPAR 1 km product was used as input for monitoring pasture productivity in agro-forestal areas of Andalucia.
The better accuracy of GEOV3 (333m) will improve the use of vegetation products for regional applications

Monitoring Soil Erosion Risk
USLE Model (Wischmeier, 1978)
The GEOV1 FCover have been used as indicator of the protective capacity of vegetation against erosion. This allows to provide qualitative maps of the degree of erosion.
For quantitative results of soil loss the FCover should be calibrated mainly for dense natural vegetation (shurbs and forest).
