Canopy structure: An intermediate factor regulating grassland diversity-function relationships under human disturbances [PDF]
Fundamental Research, 2023 Grasslands are one of the largest coupled human-nature terrestrial ecosystems on Earth, and severe anthropogenic-induced grassland ecosystem function declines have been reported recently. Understanding factors influencing grassland ecosystem functions is

Shade-Tolerant Soybean Reduces Yield Loss by Regulating Its Canopy Structure and Stem Characteristics in the Maize–Soybean Strip Intercropping System [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The shading of maize is an important factor, which leads to lodging and yield loss of soybean in the maize–soybean strip intercropping system, especially in areas with low solar radiation.

Changes in peanut canopy structure and photosynthetic characteristics induced by an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus in a nutrient-poor environment [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 A well-developed canopy structure can increase the biomass accumulation and yield of crops. Peanut seeds were sown in a soil inoculated with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) and uninoculated controls were also sown.

The influence of stand composition and season on canopy structure and understory light environment in different subtropical montane Pinus massoniana forests [PDF]
PeerJCanopy structure and understory light have important effects on forest productivity and the growth and distribution of the understory. However, the effects of stand composition and season on canopy structure and understory light environment (ULE) in the ...

Large-eddy simulations of surface roughness parameter sensitivity to canopy-structure characteristics [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Surface roughness parameters, namely the roughness length and displacement height, are an integral input used to model surface fluxes. However, most models assume these parameters to be a fixed property of plant functional type and disregard the ...
