Seven Crucial Applications Of Leaf Area Data
Leaf area data is essential to research as the leaf is the largest plant organ involved in several crucial physiological processes and has maximum environmental interaction. Leaf area directly correlates to photosynthetic capacity, transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance. Plant growth and biomass accumulation can be predicted using leaf area data. This relationship has applications in… Continue reading…
6 Essential Applications of Leaf Spectrometers
6 Essential Applications of Leaf Spectrometers Leaf spectrometers collect and analyze reflected, transmitted, or absorbed light to provide vital plant information. The parameters measured are chemical concentrations, color analysis, photochemical reactions, optical and physical properties of leaves, and the extinction coefficient of light. These properties are applied on various scales from leaf, and individual… Continue reading…
Teaching with plant science tools
Kim Collins and her team at Northport High School have been utilizing the CI-710s SpectraVue Leaf Spectrometer to lend a modern, data-driven approach to students’ research projects. In this interview, we dive into how this technology-forward curriculum is empowering the next generation of plant science researchers and explore two unique student-led projects using Spectravue.
Transpiration, Evapotranspiration, and Leaf Area Index
Increasing evapotranspiration due to global warming is changing the climate. Yet global estimates of transpiration, its major component, are not definite. Global transpiration estimates vary due to different methodologies, approaches, and scales. Including field data in global-scale models is crucial for accurately determining transpiration. Leaf Area Index is an excellent proxy for calculating transpiration by… Continue reading…
