Estimating Canopy Density Parameters Time-Series for Winter Wheat Using UAS Mounted LiDAR
Remote Sensing, 2021 Monitoring of canopy density with related metrics such as leaf area index (LAI) makes a significant contribution to understanding and predicting processes in the soil–plant–atmosphere system and to indicating crop health and potential yield for farm ...

Contribution of lianas to plant area index and canopy structure in a Panamanian forest [PDF]
Ecology, 2016 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 ...

Remote Sensing, 2018 Urban trees deliver many ecological services to the urban environment, including reduced runoff generation in storms. Trees intercept rainfall and store part of the water on leaves and branches, reducing the volume and velocity of water that reaches the ...

Map-Making of Plant Biomass and Leaf Area Index for Management of Protected Areas
Aliso, 2000 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 Extracting Individual Plant Bio-Characteristics from High-Resolution Digital Images
Remote Sensing, 2021 The extraction of automated plant phenomics from digital images has advanced in recent years. However, the accuracy of extracted phenomics, especially for individual plants in a field environment, requires improvement.
