Canopy Structure, Light Interception, and Photosynthesis in Maize

Agronomy Journal, 2003
The amount and distribution of leaf area and leaf angles in a crop canopy determine how photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is intercepted and consequently influences canopy photosynthesis and yield. Factors such as plant shape, plant populations, and row width will affect these leaf distributions and can occur in an almost infinite number of ...

Shrub canopy interception of diaspores dispersed by wind

Seed Science Research, 2020
AbstractInterception by plant canopies during wind dispersal can affect the final destination of diaspores. However, how the interaction of wind speed, canopy type and diaspore attributes affects interception of diaspores by the plant canopy has rarely been studied.

An enhanced rainfall–runoff model with coupled canopy interception

Hydrological Processes, 2020
AbstractThe translation of rainfall to runoff is significantly affected by canopy interception. Therefore, a realistic representation of the role played by vegetation cover when modelling the rainfall–runoff system is essential for predicting water, sediment, and nutrient transport on hillslopes.

A rainfall interception model for inhomogeneous forest canopy

Frontiers of Forestry in China, 2008
The process of rainfall interception by an inhomogeneous forest canopy composed of tree crowns with some gaps among them were considered, and the previous theoretical models of rainfall interception were modified to model an inhomogeneous canopy instead of a statistically homogeneous canopy. The paper deals with the following.

Quantification of Canopy Interception and Cloud Interception in the Elevated Forests of Norfolk Island

2023
The higher elevation forests of Norfolk Island are regularly immersed in the clouds and scientific and anecdotal evidence suggests that in addition to rainfall, water is likely to be collected as cloud droplets are intercepted by the forest canopy.

Canopy Architecture Affects Light Interception in Sweet Cherry Your

2012 Dallas, Texas, July 29 - August 1, 2012, 2012
Canopy light interception is fundamental factor contributing to horticultural crop performance and quality. No studies have evaluated light interception of modern fruit tree architectures such as compact fruiting walls. Herein we report on daily trends in Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) interception in sweet cherry trees trained to vertical ...

Method for Measurement of Canopy Interception under Sprinkler Irrigation

Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, 2006
A procedure called water wiping is developed to measure the amount of water intercepted by the canopy of winter wheat under sprinkler irrigation. Macromolecule bibulous materials with high water absorption is used to collect sprinkler water intercepted by winter wheat canopy by wiping water from leaves, sheathes, heads, and stems.

Evaluation of canopy interception schemes in land surface models

Journal of Hydrology, 2007
Summary Field measurements of interception loss ratio published in the literature for different locations over the globe are used in this study to evaluate four canopy interception schemes incorporated into the Community Land Model version 3 (CLM3).

Parameterizing snow interception over forest canopy

2019
Snow interception drives spatial heterogeneity of snow under forest canopies and displays significant differencesbetween forested, open and alpine areas at a variety of scales. Beyond giving a first order control on snow accu-mulation, interception by canopy drives other processes.

Interception traps in canopy inflorescences: Targeting a neglected fauna

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2005
Two new cost-effective trap designs for capturing arthropod flower visitors are described. Small flower visitors such as Thysanoptera and Diptera, hardly noticeable during direct flower observations, were dominant in trap catches. These trapping techniques combined with direct observations allow a more comprehensive picture of the flower visitors.
