Abstract: Distributions of leaf base and inclination angles are important crop phenotypic traits, influencing light interception and productivity. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and especially ...

We quantified three crown architectural traits: intra-individual heterogeneity in foliage clumping, crown openness, and leaf position angles. We estimated the diurnal course of light interception at ...

Canopy light interception ... results from work comparing erect leaf phenotypes to more horizontal leaf orientations have yielded mixed results. Studies with barley [17] provided no clear evidence ...

Accurate leaf dimension assessment is essential for quantifying morphological variations across growth stages and cultivars and for precise 3D modeling of light interception. Standard manual ...

ABSTRACT: The leaf inclination angle distribution (LAD) is an important characteristic of vegetation canopy structure affecting light interception within the canopy. However, LADs are difficult and ...

In general, more-upright leaves (that is, those with smaller stem–leaf angles) reduce the amount ... be differentially oriented to maximize light interception and hence photosynthesis.
