SoS, day of the start of season; PoS, day of the peak of season; EoS, day of the end of season; length, duration of the growing season (EoS-SoS); LAImax, maximum LAI value; growth rate, rate of increase of LAI during the early growth; and senescence rate, rate of decrease of LAI during the senescence.
