The significance of atmospheric nutrient inputs and canopy interception of precipitation during ecosystem development in piñon-juniper woodlands of the southwestern USA [PDF]
, 2013 In arid ecosystems, widely spaced vegetation and prolonged dry periods may enhance canopy capture of nutrients from dry deposition. Additionally, differences in precipitation type, plant canopy architecture, and soil nutrient limitation could affect ...

Development of forest structure and leaf area in secondary forests regenerating on abandoned pastures in Central Amazonia [PDF]
, 2005 The area of secondary forest (SF) regenerating from pastures is increasing in the Amazon basin; however, the return of forest and canopy structure following abandonment is not well understood. This study examined the development of leaf area index (LAI),

Tree canopy coverage at urban areas - concept and method
GEOUSP: Espaço e Tempo, 2006 We notice a great confusion in respect to the terms used to identify the green of the nature in the city. Among corporations of research, education and planning, we find different versions of terms for green area, open space, tree canopy coverage, these ...

Modeling tree canopy height using machine learning over mixed vegetation landscapes
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021 Although the random forest algorithm has been widely applied to remotely sensed data to predict characteristics of forests, such as tree canopy height, the effect of spatial non-stationarity in the modeling process is oftentimes neglected.

Canopy Management of Citrus Trees
EDIS, 2017 Tree canopy and bearing volume are two important factors in fruit production and fruit quality; generally, trees with larger canopy volumes produce more fruit than smaller-canopy trees. Therefore, canopy management is an important aspect of citrus production in Florida to avoid problems associated with overcrowding and excessively tall trees.
