Understanding leaf area measurement is central to plant physiology, agronomy, forestry, and ecology. Researchers rely on accurate leaf metrics to track growth, predict crop performance, analyze stress response, and quantify traits across treatments. With several tools available in the research market, knowing what to choose can be overwhelming. This guide breaks down the major instrument… Continue reading…
Using the CI‑110 to Monitor Forest Canopy Recovery After Wildfire
Forest canopy recovery is one of the clearest indicators of ecosystem resilience following wildfire. Researchers, land managers, and restoration ecologists all rely on accurate canopy metrics to understand how quickly vegetation structure and function return after disturbance. Measuring forest canopy recovery consistently across time and space has always been a challenge, especially in rugged or… Continue reading…
