Rapid Characterization of Vegetation Structure with a Microsoft Kinect Sensor

open access: yesSensors, 2013
The importance of vegetation structure and biomass in controlling land-atmosphere exchange is widely recognized, but measurements of canopy structure are challenging, time consuming, and often rely on destructive methods.

Ice storm effects on the canopy structure of a northern hardwood forest after 8 years [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Ice storms can cause severe damage to forest canopies, resulting in differential mortality among tree species and size classes and leading to long-lasting changes in the vertical structure and composition of the forest.

Crop Monitoring Using Satellite/UAV Data Fusion and Machine Learning

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Non-destructive crop monitoring over large areas with high efficiency is of great significance in precision agriculture and plant phenotyping, as well as decision making with regards to grain policy and food security.

Scaling PRI Between Coniferous Canopy Structures [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2013
We measured simultaneously the spectral albedo of ten Scots pine shoots and the needles constituting the shoots. Next, we used the spectral information to calculate the photochemical reflectance index (PRI) which allows to retrieve photosynthetic productivity from imaging spectroscopy data.

UAV-LiDAR Measurement of Vegetation Canopy Structure Parameters and Their Impact on Land–Air Exchange Simulation Based on Noah-MP Model

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Land surface processes play a vital role in the exchange of momentum, energy, and mass between the land and the atmosphere. However, the current model simplifies the canopy structure using approximately three to six parameters, which makes the ...

Parallel functional and stoichiometric trait shifts in South American and African forest communities with elevation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Amazon and Congo basins are the two largest continuous blocks of tropical forest with a central role for global biogeochemical cycles and ecology. However, both biomes differ in structure and species richness and composition.

Enhancing maize radiation use efficiency under high planting density by shaping canopy architecture with a plant growth regulator

open access: yesCrop and Environment
Optimized maize (Zea mays L.) canopy architecture enhances density-tolerance. DHEAP (N, N-Diethyl-2-hexanoyl oxygen radicals-ethyl amine (2-ethyl chloride) phosphonic acid salt) has been shown to increase maize upper canopy strata compactness, but its ...

Morphology of a canopy as a preservation structure [PDF]

open access: yesWIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2009
New technologies have enriched the exploration of architectural designs and ideas. New tools, such as parametric modelling, have enabled architects to investigate designs of “free forms” and shapes of unseen complexity in the past. Rapid prototype models provided new means to examine tectonics and spatial qualities.

Laser scanning reveals bryophyte canopy structure [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2005
We evaluated laser scanning as a method to provide depth measurements for bryophyte canopies at fine spatial scales to derive surface roughness (Lr), a structural parameter. Depths to the first vertical canopy contact were measured on 5 x 5 cm2 areas of 27 bryophyte canopies using a contact probe, a commercial laser scanner and a scanner employing a ...
