Sentence examples for foliage area from inspiring English sources
Tree growth was highly correlated with accumulated foliage area, but bole-wood production per unit leaf area (growth efficiency) was similar for both pine species.
Canopy transmittance was estimated using All Echo Cover Index (ACI), and the mean projection of unit foliage area was obtained using no-intercept regression with field measured LAIe.
The leaf area index (LAI) and fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR) absorbed by the vegetation are key biophysical measures of canopy foliage area and light harvesting potential.
Segmenting the canopy into cubic volumes –or voxels- provides a convenient means to compute light transmission statistics and describe the spatial distribution of foliage area in tree crowns.
The LAI is calculated by using the Beer gap fraction model on the assumption of spherical leaf angle distribution that takes the G value (the projection of unit foliage area on the plane perpendicular to the view direction θ) as constant at 0.5.
In both species, increases in light availability resulted in larger net assimilation rate (NAR, total plant biomass production rate per unit leaf area), root mass fraction (FR) and leaf mass per unit area (MA), but reductions in leaf area ratio (LAR, foliage area per total plant dry mass), stem mass fraction (FS) and leaf mass fraction (FL).
The goal of these practices is to achieve the proper balance of fruit and foliage (leaf area) to maximize (or optimize) production of ripe, quality fruit.
The calcium distribution map closely correlates with the copper map in the foliage areas.
The reconstructed canopies were characterised from a structural perspective in terms of foliage surface area, vertical leaf area density, single leaf area, and leaf angles.
However, direct measurements of vertical and horizontal distributions of foliage are very complex and time-consuming and for this reason foliage biomass parameters of leaf area index (LAI) and specific leaf area (SLA) modeled by the growth model BALANCE are useful parameters to give complete stand representations.
We modelled foliage biomass and specific leaf area (SLA) using a sample of 60 lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) and 60 white spruce (Picea glauca) that were destructively sampled in British Columbia, Canada.
