Sentence examples for sparse canopy from inspiring English sources

I showered beneath the stars and a waning moon, at dawn when the sky was dove gray, and at noon when the sparse canopy of the tree fragmented the sun.

Patch density and percentage of the landscape comprised of open and sparse canopy, scrub oak habitats were the most significant variables.

Next, a coefficient for plant density (Kd), which is based on the percentage ground cover, is used to adjust the full-canopy Ev to the evapotranspiration of a sparse canopy from a well-watered ecosystem (Ew).

Twenty-five runoff events were recorded using runoff plots at micro scale (<40 cm × 40 cm) on a south facing slope from July through October 2006. A. potaninii had sparse canopy, the smallest leaf area (0.49 ± 0.25 cm2) and specific leaf area (67.8 ± 16.5 cm2/g), and the highest leaf relative water content (27.1 ± 4.4%).

Although the bird community of managed barrens was not identical to the communities of remnant barrens, the Field Sparrow (Spizella pusilla), a species of conservation concern, and sparse canopy associated bird species, such as the Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula) and Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis) were predicted to occupy managed barrens and remnant barrens in similar proportions.

The carbon increment between 2010 and 2013 was higher in dense forests with dominant Pine vegetation (24 Mg C/ha) followed by Schima Castanopsis (20 Mg C/ha), mixed broad leaf types (18.9 Mg C/ha) and S. robusta (16.9 Mg C/ha), while the lowest was found in sparse canopy of Rhododendron-Quercus vegetation (5.9 Mg C/ha).

Statistical results demonstrate that the scan angle impact is more severe for plots with discontinuous or sparse canopies.

The experimental data showed that for sparse canopies z0m being 9% of the mean vegetation height is a doable operational rule for the semi-arid region of São Francisco River basin.

Fig. 10 Comparison of nadir top of canopy (TOC) reflectance image with a Landsat 8 image using linear stretch (0 to 0.3): (a) simulated image (0.5 m, R  =  NIR, G  =  red, B  =  green); (b) re-sampled 15 m image from (a); (c) Landsat 8 (15 m) on May 24, 2014 (R  =  NIR, G  =  red, B  =  green); (d) Spectral curves of dense and sparse canopies.

In sparse canopies, solar tracking increased net canopy photosynthesis, but rarely by more than 3%.

Ehleringer and Forseth (1980) suggested that, if increased heat load is not a problem, then tracking in sparse canopies (e.g. isolated seedlings) would increase net photosynthesis by increasing total light interception.
