Near-infrared digital hemispherical photography enables correction of plant area index for woody material during leaf-on conditions [PDF]
Indirect optical measurement techniques enable efficient and non-destructive estimation of plant area index (PAI). However, because they cannot distinguish between foliage and other canopy elements, corrections are needed to determine leaf area index ...
