Multitemporal Monitoring of Plant Area Index in the Valencia Rice District with PocketLAI [PDF]
Leaf area index (LAI) is a key biophysical parameter used to determine foliage cover and crop growth in environmental studies in order to assess crop yield. Frequently, plant canopy analyzers (LAI-2000) and digital cameras for hemispherical photography (DHP) are used for indirect effective plant area index (PAIeff) estimates.

Estimation of Leaf Area Index and Plant Area Index of a Submerged Macrophyte Canopy Using Digital Photography [PDF]
Non-destructive estimation using digital cameras is a common approach for estimating leaf area index (LAI) of terrestrial vegetation. However, no attempt has been made so far to develop non-destructive approaches to LAI estimation for aquatic vegetation.

Stage 1 Validation of Plant Area Index From the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation [PDF]
The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) aims to provide improved characterization of forest structure, and plant area index (PAI) is one of many variables provided in the official GEDI Level 2B (L2B) product suite. However, since release, few quantitative validation studies have been conducted.

Local Illumination Influence on Vegetation Indices and Plant Area Index (PAI) Relationships [PDF]
Relationships between biophysical parameters and radiometric data have been tested and evaluated by several professionals using empirical and/or physical approaches. Remote sensing data collected from airborne or orbital platforms are, of course, influenced by different factors, such as illumination/observation geometry (data collection geometry ...

Modelling Plant Responses to Elevated CO2: How Important is Leaf Area Index? [PDF]
The problem of increasing CO(2) concentration [CO(2)] and associated climate change has generated much interest in modelling effects of [CO(2)] on plants. While variation in growth and productivity is closely related to the amount of intercepted radiation, largely determined by leaf area index (LAI), effects of elevated [CO(2)] on growth are primarily ...

Sustainability Index of Solar Power Plants in Remote Areas in Indonesia [PDF]
Energy is an inseparable component in human life in every aspect. However, many regions cannot utilize energy sources to support their daily activities, so there are several breakthroughs made by the government, including the construction of solar power plants in remote areas.

Simulation of Planted Area Index (PAI) for Crop Spacing Methods in Plant Factory [PDF]
Various crop spacing methods have been implemented so far for the greenhouse and plant factory applications. However, there is no generally accepted parameter for evaluation of plant spacing efficiency in plant production system. In this study, `Planted Area Index` (PAI) of a spacing method is defined as the ratio of the planted area in the field to ...

Contribution of lianas to plant area index and canopy structure in a Panamanian forest [PDF]
AbstractLianas are an important component of tropical forests, where they reduce tree growth, fecundity, and survival. Competition for light from lianas may be intense; however, the amount of light that lianas intercept is poorly understood. We used a large‐scale liana‐removal experiment to quantify light interception by lianas in a Panamanian ...

Map-Making of Plant Biomass and Leaf Area Index for Management of Protected Areas
An inventory of the vegetation types of Castelporziano Estate (Rome), including examples of Mediterranean ecosystems in excellent preserved condition, was compiled. Because Leaf Area Index (LAI) changed with forest structure and developmental stages, maximum LAI provided a good estimate of maximum biomass accumulation. Plant biomass estimation, ranging

A new method for estimating the leaf area index of cucumber and tomato plants [PDF]
Non-destructive methods of leaf area measurement are useful for small plant populations, such as experiments with potted plants, and allow the measurement of the same plant several times during the growing period. A methodology was developed to estimate the leaf area index (LAI) of cucumber and tomato plants through the evaluation of the leaf area ...
