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...
متن کاملFoliage randomness and light interception in 3-D digitized trees: an analysis from multiscale discretization of the canopy
Light models for vegetation canopies based on the turbid medium analogy are usually limited by the basic assumption of random foliage dispersion in the canopy space. The objective of this paper was to assess the effect of three possible sources of non-randomness in tree canopies on light interception properties. For this purpose, four threedimensional (3-D) digitized trees and four theoretical ...
متن کاملComparison of Four Methods for Estimating Total Light Interception by Apple Trees of Varying Forms
Four methods of estimating daily light interception (fisheye photography with image analysis, multiple-light sensors, ceptometer, and point grid) were compared using various apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) tree forms: slender spindle, Yand T-trellises, and vertical palmette. Interactions of tree form, time of day, and atmospheric conditions with light interception estimates were examined. All me...
متن کاملMultiscale Modeling and Asymptotics Approaches for Analyzing Neural Network Dynamics
How neurons coordinate in complex networks to achieve their function? Answering this question has relied on experimental approaches such as functional imaging, electrophysiology, microscopy imaging, but surprisingly, what is now really missing, to make sense of the data is analytical methods, modeling, complex simulations and analysis. Studying responses of neurons while accounting for their ge...
متن کاملThe Need for a Multiscale Modeling Framework
ences is that of a “field,” which, together with appropriate mathematical operations on fields, is used to express the physical conservation laws of nature, such as conservation of mass, momentum, charge, etc. Fields were first introduced by the great 19th-century British scientist Michael Faraday to represent the intensity and direction of the force experienced by a small charged particle in t...
