Using two models, we show that leaf angle variations have significant impacts on not only canopy-scale photosynthesis, energy balance and water use efficiency but also light competition within the forest canopy.
20 kwi 2023 · We review the role of leaf angle in studies of ecophysiology, ecosystem ecology and earth system science, and highlight the essential yet understudied role of leaf angle as an ecological strategy to regulate plant carbon–water–energy nexus and to bridge leaf, canopy and earth system processes.
20 kwi 2023 · Diagram of leaf and solar angles. θl is the leaf inclination angle from horizontal, equivalent to the angle between the leaf normal and the zenith (the green arrow is the leaf...
The leaf angle is a major factor governing k in a given species. Leaf surface properties affecting reflection, leaf properties including thickness, leaf size and shape, and characteristics affecting the three-dimensional arrangement of leaves also affect k (Hay and Porter, 2006).
6 lis 2017 · Leaf angle, defined as the inclination between the leaf blade midrib and the stem, is one of the most important canopy architecture parameters that influence light interception, photosynthetic efficiency, and planting density.
16 gru 2017 · Leaf angle is defined as the inclination between the midrib of the leaf blade and the vertical stem of a plant. This trait has been identified as a key component in the development of high-yielding varieties of cereal species, particularly maize, rice, wheat, and sorghum.
29 wrz 2010 · In the first part of this review we will discuss the functional consequences of leaf orientation for plant performance. Next, we will consider hyponastic growth and describe how exploitation of natural (genetic) variation can be instrumental in studying the relevance and control of leaf positioning. Keywords:
