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.
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.
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:
15 sie 2023 · Leaf angle distribution (LAD) is an important plant structural trait that determines radiation interception, biomass production, rainfall interception, and evapotranspiration. LAD has remained one of the most poorly constrained parameters and a major source of uncertainty in ecological models due to difficulty in quantification.
10 cze 2021 · Here, we present TLSL e AF (Terrestrial Laser Scanning Leaf Angle Function), an automated open-source method of deriving LADs from terrestrial laser scanning. TLSL e AF produces canopy-scale leaf angle and LADs by relying on gridded laser scanning data.
26 lut 2015 · A mathematical equivalent for leaf orientation is the leaf angle or leaf angle distribution. Our methods and algorithms are designed for the local derivation of leaf angles on the base of individual leaf models.
15 sie 2022 · Leaf angles (i.e., leaf inclination relative to the horizontal) were collected for a large number of leaves from both sunlit and shaded crowns using ladders, mobile elevators, scaffolding towers or cameras mounted on UAVs for canopy access. Measurements were conducted only in windless conditions.
