The Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) is essential for assessing vegetation's photosynthetic efficiency and ecosystem energy balance. While the MODIS FPAR product provides valuable global data, its reliability is compromised by noise, particularly under poor observation conditions like cloud cover. To solve this problem, we developed the Spatio-Temporal Information Composition Algorithm (STICA), which enhances MODIS FPAR by integrating quality control, spatio-temporal correlations, and original FPAR values, resulting in the High-Quality FPAR (HiQ-FPAR) product. HiQ-FPAR shows superior accuracy compared to MODIS FPAR and Sensor-Independent FPAR (SI-FPAR), with RMSE values of 0.130, 0.154, and 0.146, respectively, and R² values of 0.722, 0.630, and 0.717. Additionally, HiQ-FPAR exhibits smoother time series in 52.1% of global areas, compared to 44.2% for MODIS. Available on Google Earth Engine and Zenodo, the HiQ-FPAR dataset offers 500 m and 5 km resolution at an 8-day interval from 2000 to 2023, supporting a wide range of FPAR applications.

Climate change has a substantial influence on the end of the growing season (EOS). The time-lag and cumulative effects are non-negligible phenomena when studying the interactions between climate and vegetation. However, quantification of the temporal effects of climatic factors on the EOS in the context of changing hydrothermal patterns remains scarce.

Rice production is pivotal for ensuring global food security. In Pakistan, rice is not only the dominant Kharif crop but also a significant export commodity that significantly impacts the state's economy. However, Pakistan faces challenges such as abrupt climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, which affect rice production and underscore the need for predictive models for informed decisions aimed at improving productivity and ultimately the state's economy.

Global climate change scenarios such as frequent and extreme floods disturb the river basins by destructing the vegetation resulting in rehabilitation procedures being more costly. Thus, understanding the recovery and regeneration of vegetation followed by extreme flood events is critical for a successful rehabilitation process. Spatial and temporal variation of biochemical and biophysical features derived from remote sensing technology in vegetation can be incorporated to understand the recovery and regeneration of vegetation.

This paper presents the theoretical basis of the algorithm designed for the generation of leaf area index and diurnal course of its sunlit portion from NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) onboard NOAA's Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR). The Look-up-Table (LUT) approach implemented in the MODIS operational LAI/FPAR algorithm is adopted. The LUT, which is the heart of the approach, has been significantly modified.
