Sentence examples for increasing leaf area from inspiring English sources

We estimated mapped transpiration (Tr) at a point scale (1 m2) and showed that Tr increased linearly with increasing leaf area index (LAI).

It has been observed that NDVI increases near-linearly with increasing leaf area index and then enters an asymptotic phase in which NDVI increases very slowly with increasing leaf area index (Roderick et al. 1996; Wessels et al. 2004; Jiang et al. 2006).

However, the peak of the BRDF in the hot-spot direction was enhanced with increasing leaf area index (LAI) as needle reflectance increased relative to needle transmittance at fixed needle albedo.

The SDLA above or under ear significantly increased with improving genotypes, mainly due to new hybrids allowing the use of more individuals per area and thus increasing leaf area index (LAI).

However, when soil nutrient supply was adequate, plants reduced C input to fine roots and increased C into leaves, increasing photosynthesis by increasing leaf area to obtain greater growth and efficiency.

Such effects may oppose each other, making the outcome unclear, for example, we know that forest loss and reduced stomatal opening associated with increasing carbon dioxide is likely to reduce vapour transpired to the atmosphere (Spracklen et al. 2012; Sheil 2014; Franks et al. 2017), but increasing leaf area observed in many regions may also boost transpiration (Zhang et al. 2015).

Khan (2003) also observed that the leaf application of LCOs in maize stimulated photosynthesis, increased leaf area and shoot dry weight.

In conditions with ample K+ both MegaFol and GroZyme (Valagro, Atessa, Chieti, ITALY) increased leaf area and number of leaves greater than controls treated with water or K+.

In addition, Nl rather than the other two N treatments increased leaf area ratio (LAR), leaf/fine root mass ratio (L/FR), R/S and RWC under severe drought stress (20% FC), even though these parameters could increase with the Nh treatment under well-watered condition (80% FC).

Cyanobacterial inoculation positively affected pigment content, increased plant shoot and root dry weight, and increased leaf area [ 40].

Increased leaf area of the ZmZAR1 overexpressing lines was primarily due to an increase in cell proliferation rather than cell expansion.
