Aerial high-throughput phenotyping of peanut leaf area index and lateral growth

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Leaf area index (LAI) is the ratio of the total one-sided leaf area to the ground area, whereas lateral growth (LG) is the measure of canopy expansion. They are indicators for light capture, plant growth, and yield.

Leaf area index estimation using top-of-canopy airborne RGB images

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021
Leaf Area Index (LAI) is one of the most important biophysical properties of a crop, used in detecting long-term water stress, estimating biomass, and identifying crop growth stage.

Effects of Crop Leaf Angle on LAI-Sensitive Narrow-Band Vegetation Indices Derived from Imaging Spectroscopy

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Leaf area index (LAI) is an important biophysical variable for understanding the radiation use efficiency of field crops and their potential yield. On a large scale, LAI can be estimated with the help of imaging spectroscopy. However, recent studies have

Plant Traits Help Explain the Tight Relationship between Vegetation Indices and Gross Primary Production

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Remotely-sensed Vegetation Indices (VIs) are often tightly correlated with terrestrial ecosystem CO2 uptake (Gross Primary Production or GPP). These correlations have been exploited to infer GPP at local to global scales and over half-hour to decadal ...

The Design and Implementation of the Leaf Area Index Sensor

open access: yesSensors, 2015
The quick and accurate acquisition of crop growth parameters on a large scale is important for agricultural management and food security. The combination of photographic and wireless sensor network (WSN) techniques can be used to collect agricultural ...

MULTI-SENSOR APPROACH TO LEAF AREA INDEX ESTIMATION USING STATISTICAL MACHINE LEARNING MODELS: A CASE ON MANGROVE FORESTS [PDF]

open access: yesISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2021
Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a quantity that characterizes canopy foliage content. As leaf surfaces are the primary sites of energy, mass exchange, and fundamental production of terrestrial ecosystem, many important processes are directly proportional to LAI.

Remote Sensing of Leaf Area Index from LiDAR Height Percentile Metrics and Comparison with MODIS Product in a Selectively Logged Tropical Forest Area in Eastern Amazonia

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Leaf area index (LAI) is an important parameter to describe the capacity of forests to intercept light and thus affects the microclimate and photosynthetic capacity of canopies.

Optimization of Light Interception, Leaf Area and Yield in “WA38”: Comparisons among Training Systems, Rootstocks and Pruning Techniques

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
As apple orchards have transitioned to high-density plantings, proper training systems are required to manage increased leaf area. Leaf area index (LAI) is defined as the ratio between leaf area to ground area (m2/m2) and can infer orchard health, light ...
