EVALUATION OF FOREST CANOPY AND UNDERSTORY GAP FRACTION DERIVED FROM TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING [PDF]
The quantification of forest carbon sequestration is helpful to understand the carbon storage on the Earth. The estimation of forest carbon sequestration can be achieved by the use of leaf area index (LAI), which is derived from forest gap fraction.

Enhanced Gap Fraction Extraction From Hemispherical Photography [PDF]
Canopy structure can be estimated using gap fraction (GF) data, which can be directly measured with hemispherical photography. However, GF data accuracy is affected by sunlit canopy, multiple scattering, vignetting, blooming, and chromatic aberration. Here, we present an algorithm to classify hemispherical photography, whose aim is to reduce errors in ...

Retrieval of Gap Fraction and Effective Plant Area Index from Phase-Shift Terrestrial Laser Scans
The characterization of canopy structure is crucial for modeling eco-physiological processes. Two commonly used metrics for characterizing canopy structure are the gap fraction and the effective Plant Area Index (PAIe).

Gap and congruency effect in fraction comparison
Natural number bias in fraction comparison has been studied examining the role of congruency effect. However, the congruency effect has been observed in opposite directions, suggesting that an explanation may lie in the strategies used by students. One of the strategies that may be used by students is gap thinking. We have carried out a cross-sectional

Is There a Gap or Congruency Effect? A Cross-Sectional Study in Students’ Fraction Comparison [PDF]
Many studies have addressed the natural number bias in fraction comparison, focusing on the role of congruency. However, the congruency effect has been observed to operate in the opposite direction, suggesting that a deeper explanation must underlie ...

LiDAR Voxel-Size Optimization for Canopy Gap Estimation
Terrestrial laser scanning of forest structure is used increasingly in place of traditional technologies; however, deriving physical parameters from point clouds remains challenging because LiDAR returns do not have defined areas or volumes.

Sensitivity of LiDAR Parameters to Aboveground Biomass in Winter Spelt
Information about the current biomass state of crops is important to evaluate whether the growth conditions are adequate in terms of water and nutrient supply to determine if there is need to react to diseases and to predict the expected yield.

ASSESSMENT OF LIGHT ENVIRONMENT FOR HERBACEOUS VEGETATION IN SEMI-NATURAL GRASSLAND USING TIME-SERIES UAV DATA [PDF]
Grasslands are important ecosystems containing unique biodiversity. It has been reported that some herbaceous species inhabiting grassland reduced its number and became extremely rare.

GAPS BETWEEN FRACTIONAL PARTS, AND ADDITIVE COMBINATORICS [PDF]
We give bounds on the number of distinct differences $N_a-a$ as $a$ varies over all elements of a given finite set $A$, and $N_a$ is a nearest neighbour to $a$.

Direct Measurements of Fractional Quantum Hall Effect Gaps [PDF]
We measure the chemical potential jump across the fractional gap in the low-temperature limit in the two-dimensional electron system of GaAs/AlGaAs single heterojunctions. In the fully spin-polarized regime, the gap for filling factor nu=1/3 increases LINEARLY with magnetic field and is coincident with that for nu=2/3, reflecting the electron-hole ...
