Midday Depression vs. Midday Peak in Diurnal Light Interception: Contrasting Patterns at Crown and Leaf Scales in a Tropical Evergreen Tree [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Crown architecture usually is heterogeneous as a result of foraging in spatially and temporally heterogeneous light environments. Ecologists are only beginning to identify the importance of temporal heterogeneity for light acquisition in plants ...

Multiscale Framework for Modeling and Analyzing Light Interception by Trees [PDF]
Multiscale Modeling and Simulation, 2008 This paper presents a new framework for modeling light interception by isolated trees which makes it possible to analyze the influence of structural tree organization on light capture. The framework is based on a multiscale representation of the plant organization. Tree architecture is decomposed into a collection of components representing clusters of

Importance of the description of light interception in crop growth models. [PDF]
Plant Physiol, 2021 AbstractCanopy light interception determines the amount of energy captured by a crop, and is thus critical to modeling crop growth and yield, and may substantially contribute to the prediction uncertainty of crop growth models (CGMs). We thus analyzed the canopy light interception models of the 26 wheat (Triticum aestivum) CGMs used by the Agricultural
