This paper reviews the widely applied coupled PROSPECT and SAIL radiative transfer models (PROSAIL), regarding their suitability for the retrieval of biophysical and biochemical variables in the context of agricultural crop monitoring. Evaluation was carried out using a systematic literature review of 281 scientific publications with regard to their (i) spectral exploitation, (ii) vegetation type analyzed, (iii) variables retrieved, and (iv) choice of retrieval methods. From the analysis, current trends were derived, and problems identified and discussed. Our analysis clearly shows that the PROSAIL model is well suited for the analysis of imaging spectrometer data from future satellite missions and that the model should be integrated in appropriate software tools that are being developed in this context for agricultural applications. The review supports the decision of potential users to employ PROSAIL for their specific data analysis and provides guidelines for choosing between the diverse retrieval techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10010085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,10]],"date-time":"2018-01-10T12:41:10Z","timestamp":1515588070000},"page":"85","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":279,"title":["Evaluation of the PROSAIL Model Capabilities for Future Hyperspectral Model Environments: A Review Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0784-7717","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katja","family":"Berger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, Luisenstra\u00dfe 37, D-80333 Munich, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2169-8009","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Clement","family":"Atzberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Surveying, Remote Sensing & Land Information (IVFL), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), Peter Jordan Str. 82, 1190 Vienna, Austria"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8911-9064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Danner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, Luisenstra\u00dfe 37, D-80333 Munich, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0251-4668","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guido","family":"D\u2019Urso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Engineering and Agronomy, University of Naples Federico II, Via Universit\u00e0 100, 80055 Portici (Na), Italy"}]},{"given":"Wolfram","family":"Mauser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, Luisenstra\u00dfe 37, D-80333 Munich, Germany"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Vuolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Surveying, Remote Sensing & Land Information (IVFL), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), Peter Jordan Str. 82, 1190 Vienna, Austria"}]},{"given":"Tobias","family":"Hank","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, Luisenstra\u00dfe 37, D-80333 Munich, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"161","DOI":"10.1016\/0034-4257(91)90009-U","article-title":"Potentials and limits of vegetation indices for LAI and APAR assessment","volume":"35","author":"Baret","year":"1991","journal-title":"Remote Sens.
