Intraspecific relationships among wood density, leaf structural traits and environment in four co-occurring species of Nothofagus in New Zealand. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Plant functional traits capture important variation in plant strategy and function. Recent literature has revealed that within-species variation in traits is greater than previously supposed.

Impact of Tree Leaf Area Density on Cooling and Ventilation of an Urban Neighborhood

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2023
Abstract The impact of trees during heat waves can be diverse, as their interaction with their surroundings depends on several parameters that modify shading, ventilation potential and transpiration rate. A multiscale coupled model is presented that allows the detailed analysis of the local impact of vegetation as a mitigation measure ...

Leaf Nitrogen Traits in Response to Plant Density and Nitrogen Supply in Oilseed Rape

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
Understanding the response of plant nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) economies in oilseed rape, as well as their role in defining phenotypic plasticity, is necessary for designing new strategies to optimize plant and canopy C assimilation to improve potential

Yield photosynthesis and leaf anatomy of maize in inter- and mono-cropping systems at varying plant densities

open access: yesCrop Journal, 2022
Increasing plant density can increase cereal crop yields. However, the physiological and anatomical mechanisms of grain yield increase at high plant densities in maize-based intercropping systems are not well understood.

Variability of leaf traits in natural populations of Picea omorika determines ignitability of fresh foliage

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
IntroductionA variety of plant traits, from architectural to the cellular level, have been connected to flammability, but intraspecific variability of plant traits (ITV) and components of flammability is poorly studied. The lack of knowledge about ITV of

Why Does Not the Leaf Weight-Area Allometry of Bamboos Follow the 3/2-Power Law?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
The principle of similarity (Thompson, 1917) states that the weight of an organism follows the 3/2-power law of its surface area and is proportional to its volume on the condition that the density is constant. However, the allometric relationship between

Leaf functional traits differentiation in relation to covering materials of urban tree pits

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Understanding the ecological strategies of urban trees to the urban environment is crucial to the selection and management of urban trees. However, it is still unclear whether urban tree pit cover will affect plant functional traits.

Differences in Leaf Morphological Parameters of Pear (Pyrus communis L.) Based on Their Susceptibility to European Pear Rust Caused by Gymnosporangium sabinae (Dicks.) Oerst.

open access: yesPlants, 2021
European pear rust is an important disease; however, the relationship between its causal pathogen Gymnosporangium sabinae (Dicks.) Oerst. and host Pyrus communis L. is poorly understood. In this study, disease severity was measured, and leaf samples were

Mapping forest leaf area density from multiview terrestrial lidar

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Abstract Terrestrial lidar data are known to be useful for estimating the three‐dimensional (3D) distribution of leaf area in forests. This type of product holds great potential for modelling canopy reflectance and light interception to study the links between ...

Development and Performance Test of Variable Spray Control System Based on Target Leaf Area Density Parameter

open access: yes智慧农业, 2021
Variable spray technology is an important means to improve pesticide utilization rate and save pesticide. Fruit tree is a kind of three-dimensional space, and the densities of branches and leaves in the canopy of fruit trees at different locations are ...
