Review of methods for in situ leaf area index determination
2004
Agricultural and Forest Meteorology
Rapid, reliable and objective estimations of leaf area index (LAI) are essential for numerous studies of atmosphere-vegetation interaction, as LAI is very often a critical parameter in process-based models ...
Further testing and defining of a standardised field protocol for digital hemispherical photography is however needed to improve this technique to achieve the standards of an ideal device. ...
For broad-leaved trees with flat leaves, this definition is applicable because both sides of a leaf have the same surface area. ...
