Canopy occupation volume as an indicator of canopy photosynthetic capacity
Summary Leaf angle and leaf area index together influence canopy light interception and canopy photosynthesis. However, so far, there is no effective method to identify the optimal combination of these two parameters for canopy photosynthesis. In this study, first a robust high‐throughput method for accurate segmentation of maize organs based on 3D ...

Plant Canopy Shape and the Influences on UV Exposures to the Canopy [PDF]
AbstractThe solar spectra at selected sites over hemispherical, conical and pinnacle plant canopy models has been evaluated with a dosimetric technique. The irradiance at the sites varies by up to a factor of 0.31 compared to the irradiance on a horizontal plane.

The effect of canopy architecture on the patterning of “windflecks” within a wheat canopy [PDF]
AbstractUnder field conditions, plants are subject to wind‐induced movement which creates fluctuations of light intensity and spectral quality reaching the leaves, defined here as windflecks. Within this study, irradiance within two contrasting wheat (Triticum aestivum) canopies during full sun conditions was measured using a spectroradiometer to ...

Forests and Their Canopies: Achievements and Horizons in Canopy Science [PDF]
Forest canopies are dynamic interfaces between organisms and atmosphere, providing buffered microclimates and complex microhabitats. Canopies form vertically stratified ecosystems interconnected with other strata. Some forest biodiversity patterns and food webs have been documented and measurements of ecophysiology and biogeochemical cycling have ...
