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.
Abstract. For leaf area indices (LAI) of less than approximately 3.0, differences in leaf angle are predicted by computer simulation to have only small effects on canopy photosynthetic rates.
25 mar 2015 · Plant architecture is a key factor for high productivity maize because ideal plant architecture with an erect leaf angle and optimum leaf orientation value allow for more efficient light capture during photosynthesis and better wind circulation under dense planting conditions.
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.
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.
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 normal); θs is the...
