Abstract: In order to construct the model of the leaf area index and aboveground biomass of spring maize, the leaf area index and aboveground biomass of spring maize were measured in the field experiments at different growth stage in 9 sites. In order to estimate the LAI and aboveground biomass, ten spectral vegetation indices (NDVI, RVI, DVI, PVI, EVI, GNDVI, RDVI, SAVI, OSAVI and NLI) were extracted from MODIS data. The results showed that the correlation between ten vegetation index and LAI, aboveground biomass was significant, using vegetation index to inverse LAI and aboveground biomass was feasible. Based on regression analysis method and artificial neural network method, LAI and aboveground biomass of spring maize were inversed by using ten vegetation indexes. With regression analysis method and OSAVI, NDVI, the inversion results were better. With artificial neural network method and RVI, DVI, EVI, the inversion accuracy was higher than that of regression analysis method.
