Canopy Measurement of Urban Green Spaces for Temperature Moderation
In this sub-tropical research study, scientists examined the area and shape of parks, leaf area index, canopy density, and proximity to bodies of water. The study found one feature, above others, to be decisive in the cooling of urban spaces. Let’s dive in and explore their findings. The Experiment Suzhou Industrial Park, the site chosen… Continue reading…
Adaptive Strategies – Leaf Area and Physiological Plasticity in Drought
It is becoming increasingly important for ecologists and agronomists to understand how plants adapt to drought. Natural adaptations, which help a plant withstand changing climate, are now not just of theoretical interest but are also relevant for maintaining and improving agricultural production and ecosystem conservation. Leaf area can be an indicator or strategy for drought… Continue reading…
Hemispherical Photography to Estimate Leaf Area Index in Cotton
Non-destructive hemispherical photography provides a rapid and efficient means of collecting information on several eco-physiological features of plants. Scientists are eager to expand the use of this method to estimate the Leaf Area Index in annual crops. Testing the technique provides answers, but it also raises fresh challenges. A reliable standard tool, such as the CI-110… Continue reading…
Leaf the Graph Paper Behind: Real-Life Applications for Leaf Area Meters
Our latest webinar focusing on how leaf area measurements are used in research. A few of the research topics we cover – – Consistent forest leaf area index retrieval using ground and airborne data – Ecophysiology modeling by artificial neural networks for different spacings in eucalyptus – Morphological acclimation to agronomic manipulation in leaf dispersion… Continue reading…
