A data assimilation method for using low-resolution Earth observation data in heterogeneous ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) funded this work through the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) and the Centre for Terrestrial Carbon Dynamics (CTCD).We present an approach for dealing with coarse-resolution Earth observations ...

Defoliation intensity and leaf area index recovery in defoliated swards: implications for forage accumulation

open access: yes, 2021
This study evaluated the leaf area index (LAI) recovery mechanisms and forage accumulation rates on the regrowth of different grass species subjected to different defoliation intensities.

Assessment of morphological attributes of Guava tree for design of a novel tunnel spraying system

open access: yesEnvironment Conservation Journal
The morphological attributes play a significant role in determining the level of applied insecticide by the existing spraying system. Therefore, this attempt was made to assess the various morphological attributes of guava tree such as leaf size, leaf ...

Projections of leaf area index in earth system models [PDF]

open access: yesEarth System Dynamics, 2016
The area of leaves in the plant canopy, measured as leaf area index (LAI), modulates key land–atmosphere interactions, including the exchange of energy, moisture, carbon dioxide (CO2), and other trace gases and aerosols, and is therefore an essential ...

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.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Empirical Regression Models for Estimating Multiyear Leaf Area Index of Rice from Several Vegetation Indices at the Field Scale

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2014
Leaf area index (LAI) is among the most important variables for monitoring crop growth and estimating grain yield. Previous reports have shown that LAI derived from remote sensing data can be effectively applied in crop growth simulation models for ...
