Agronomy, 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 ...

Variability and bias in active and passive ground-based measurements of effective plant, wood and leaf area index [PDF]
, 2018 In situ leaf area index (LAI) measurements are essential to validate widely-used large-area or global LAI products derived, indirectly, from satellite observations.

Behaviour of carbon dioxide and water vapour flux densities from a disturbed raised peat bog [PDF]
, 2002 Measurements of carbon dioxide and water vapour flux densities were carried out for a disturbed raised peat bog in the north of the Netherlands during an 18 month continuous experiment. Tussock grass (sp. Molinea caerulae) mainly dominated the vegetation

Comparisons of soil suction induced by evapotranspiration and transpiration of S. heptaphylla [PDF]
, 2015 For a given evapotranspiration (ETr), both soil evaporation and plant transpiration (Tr) would induce soil suction. However, the relative contribution of these two processes to the amount of suction induced is not clear. The objective of this study is to

Inferring Amazon leaf demography from satellite observations of leaf area index [PDF]
, 2011 Seasonal and year-to-year variations in leaf cover imprint significant spatial and temporal variability on biogeochemical cycles, and affect land-surface properties related to climate.
