Measuring leaf area index from colour digital image of wheat crop

Journal of Agrometeorology, 2016
Leaf area index (LAI) is an important physiological trait that determines solar radiation interception and thus biomass. In this study leaf area index (LAI) was estimated from vertical gap fraction derived from top-of-canopy digital colour photography ...

Non-destructive estimation of rice canopy LAI using NIR/PAR: application to four rice cultivars with diverse leaf characteristics and plant architectures

Discover Agriculture
Accurate and non-destructive estimation of leaf area index (LAI) is crucial for monitoring rice growth and predicting yield. This study tested the applicability of non-destructive method for estimating rice canopy LAI using the ratio of near-infrared to ...

A framework to evaluate and identify development requirements for land‐surface models at km‐scale resolution: Application to a semi‐arid and mountainous region

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article provides a first evaluation of land‐surface models at the km‐scale resolutions at which they are used in weather and Earth‐system models. At these resolutions, the lateral transfers of water that organize landscapes play an important role in predicting evaporation correctly. Riparian processes and human water management for irrigation need

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Using Airborne Laser Scanning and Sentinel‐2 to Understand Subcanopy Light Regimes and Understory Diversity of Vascular Plants in Temperate Mountain Forests

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that not just Airborne Laser Scanning, but also Sentinel‐2 can effectively estimate absolute canopy cover and canopy cover heterogeneity ‐ structural metrics that determine the subcanopy light regime, found to be linked to the vascular plant species richness in the understory of temperate mountain forests.
