Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Canopy Photosynthesis Modeling using 3D Plant Architecture and Light Ray-tracing

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Canopy photosynthesis has typically been estimated using mathematical models that have the following assumptions: the light interception inside the canopy exponentially declines with the canopy depth, and the photosynthetic capacity is affected by light ...

Canopy Storage Implications on Interception Loss Modeling

American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2014
A rainfall interception methodology was implemented in a deciduous Ficus benjamina (L.) tree to evaluate the interception loss, as well as the dynamics on canopy storage capacity (S) and free through fall (ρ). Measurements of gross precipitation (Pg), through fall and meteorological data were recorded every 5 minutes.

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

A Stochastic Simulation Method for Estimating Vegetation Interception Capacity Based on Mechanical‐Geometric Analysis

Water Resources Research
Vegetation interception is a vital ecohydrological process, and the interception capacity is a key parameter to many classical interception models. However, current canopy interception capacity estimation methods largely depend on measured interception ...

GROUNDWATER RECHARGE MODEL CONSIDERING CANOPY INTERCEPTION

PROCEEDINGS OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 2003
When discussing on the water budget in a basin scale with various land surface conditions, evapotranspiration is a key factor for the practitioners. It is known in forest hydrology that canopy interception, which is equal to the direct evaporation, accounts for around 20% of rainfall, while the transpiration through vegetation is affected by soil water

Faster growing and more functionally diverse: global change alters functional trait composition of mountain plant communities in the European Alps

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how global change reshapes mountain plant communities is essential for predicting biodiversity and ecosystem function in a warming world. Using resurvey data from over 1400 non‐forest vegetation plots across the European Alps, we show that community‐weighted means of key functional traits capturing important dimensions of plant ecological

The impact of plant density and spatial arrangement on light interception on cotton crop and seed cotton yield: an overview

Journal of Cotton Research, 2020
Light attenuation within a row of crops such as cotton is influenced by canopy architecture, which is defined by size, shape and orientation of shoot components.

Canopy Interception of Acid Deposition in Southern Ontario

The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 2003
The impact of tree canopies on acid deposition was examined. Differences in the chemical composition of unintercepted precipitation (dustfall) and canopy was intercepted precipitation (throughfall) at 18 southern Ontario forests, collected during the summers of 1995-1996, were chemically analyzed.
