Effect of perforated foil and polypropylene fibre covers on assimilation leaf area of early potato cultivars

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2007
This paper presents the results of a three-year research on the effect of perforated polyethylene foil and polypropylene fibre covering at various lengths of plant cover period (2 and 3 weeks after plant emergence) on the assimilation leaf area of early ...

Ground cover and leaf area index of maize and sugar beet crops

open access: yes, 1997
Leaf area index (L) is an important variable characterizing the development of a crop and its exchanges with the atmosphere. Direct measurements are destructive and tedious.

Influence of the amount of water on the growth of one species and four hybrids of Paulownia in the first year of cultivation in Central Europe

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science
A lack or, conversely, an excess of water during the first growing seasons can bring about a slowdown in the growth of plants, their stagnation or even death. The necessary amount of water is not known for most hybrids of Paulownia.

Why does low intensity, long-day lighting promote growth in Petunia, Impatiens, and tomato? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Numerous reports demonstrate that low intensity, long-day (LD) lighting treatments can promote growth. However, there are conflicting suggestions as to the mechanisms involved.

Non-destructive estimation of leaf area and leaf weight of Cinchona officinalis L. (Rubiaceae) based on linear models

open access: yes
Non-destructive methods that accurately estimate leaf area (LA) and leaf weight (LW) are simple and inexpensive, and represent powerful tools in the development of physiological and agronomic research.

A study of stomatal patterns in Plantago lanceolata L. Acer pseudoplatanus L. Sesleria caerulea L. in relation to environmental parameters [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
A baseline study of leaf stomatal density, stomatal indices, guard cell length and leaf area was made in three species; a grass, Sesleria caerulea L., a herb, Plantago lanceolata L., and a tree, Acer pseudoplatanus L.

Future atmospheric CO2 leads to delayed autumnal senescence

open access: yes, 2007
Growing seasons are getting longer, a phenomenon partially explained by increasing global temperatures. Recent reports suggest that a strong correlation exists between warming and advances in spring phenology but that a weaker correlation is evident ...

Design and evaluation of multispectral LiDAR for the recovery of arboreal parameters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Multispectral light detection and ranging (LiDAR) has the potential to recover structural and physiological data from arboreal samples and, by extension, from forest canopies when deployed on aerial or space platforms.

Shading effects on leaf life span and functional traits in the widespread species Enterolobium contortisiliquum (Vell.) Morong

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2017
  Enterolobium contortisiliquum occurs in native forests formations from southeast to northeast Brazil, and too in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. The objective of this study was to evaluate shading effects in the early growth of E.

Leaf economics and plant hydraulics drive leaf : wood area ratios

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2019
Summary Biomass and area ratios between leaves, stems and roots regulate many physiological and ecological processes. The Huber value Hv (sapwood area/leaf area ratio) is central to plant water balance and drought responses. However, its coordination with key plant functional traits is poorly understood, and prevents developing trait‐based prediction
