20 kwi 2023 · Leaf angle, the angle between the leaf normal and the zenith (Figure 1, Box 1), is a key leaf trait associated with light interception, photosynthesis, energy balance and competition among individual plants (Anten, 2005; Nilsen & Forseth, 2018; Ross, 1980).
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.
16 mar 2007 · Leaf angle distribution is one of the key parameters to simulate radiative transfer and energy and mass balance of vegetative canopies. Five leaf angle distributions functions have been proposed to account for the non-random distribution of leaf inclination angle.
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.
1 sty 1997 · The leaf inclination angle (LIA), defined as the leaf or needle inclination angle to the horizontal plane, is vital in radiative transfer, precipitation interception, evapotranspiration ...
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).
Genetic control of leaf angle in sorghum and its effect on light interception.
