•Application conditions for VIs in constructing the LAI seasonal trajectory were assessed.•The optimal VI for different ranges of LAI is suggested for LAI estimation.•The VIRE have the potential to develop a universe model for estimating LAI. Leaf area index (LAI) is a required input for various eco...
