Cover Story: This study provides the first 3D-explicit forest model with bitemporal structural representations, which is one of the most realistic forest scenes for bitemporal 3D radiative transfer (RT) modeling to date. We demonstrate for the first time the potential of bitemporal 3D-explicit forest RT modeling on the forward modeling and quantitative interpretation of remote sensing observations of leaf area index, FAPAR, and canopy light regimes. The results show that this bitemporal 3D-explicit forest RT modeling allows for spatially explicit modeling over time under fully controlled experimental conditions in one of the most realistic virtual environments, thus delivering a powerful tool for studying canopy light regimes as impacted by the dynamics of forest structures and developing remote sensing inversion schemes for structural changes in forests.
