Approaches to Modeling Light Interception in Orchards

Multiscale Framework for Modeling and Analyzing Light Interception by Trees

This paper presents a new framework for modeling light interception by isolated trees which makes it possible to analyze the in uence of structural tree organization on light capture. The framework is based on a multiscale representation of the plant organization. Tree architecture is decomposed into a collection of components representing clusters of leaves at di erent scales in the tree crown...

A review of theoretical approaches to light therapy in therapeutic spaces

Hydraulic conductance, light interception and needle nutrient

determined in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees and stands from 7 to about 60 years of age. At the stand scale, leaf area index and net primary productivity (NPP, aboveplus belowground) increased and reached a plateau at about 25--30 and 15--20 years, respectively; both parameters declined in mature stands. Stand hydraulic conductance followed a similar trend to NPP, with a maximum at abou...

New Approaches in 3D Geomechanical Earth Modeling

In this paper two new approaches for building 3D Geomechanical Earth Model (GEM) were introduced. The first method is a hybrid of geostatistical estimators, Bayesian inference, Markov chain and Monte Carlo, which is called Model Based Geostatistics (MBG). It has utilized to achieve more accurate geomechanical model and condition the model and parameters of variogram. The second approach is the ...

Canopy Architecture Quantification and Spatial Direct Light Interception Modeling of Hybrid Rice

Rice is one of the most important crops in the world, and hybrid rice is planted broadly in China which accounts for half of China’s rice acreage. Quantification of rice spatial architecture is useful for breeding high yield cultivars, and studies on morphogenesis and development of rice plant structure have been carried out (Watanabe et al., 2005). Three-dimensional (3D) digitizing has been a ...
