This paper present how the light transfer and interception inside the canopy was computed by combining a tomato dynamic growth model. The tomato functional structural growth model was applied to produce the topology and geometry of individual plant, and through transformation, the canopy could be composed of multi-individual plants. In this simulation system, a radioactive transfer model named ...

Nanoparticle organic hybrid materials (NOHMs) have been recently developed that comprise an oligomeric or polymeric canopy tethered to surface-modified nanoparticles via ionic or covalent bonds. It has already been shown that the tunable nature of the grafted polymeric canopy allows for enhanced CO2 capture capacity and selectivity via the enthalpic intermolecular interactions between CO2 and t...

The concept of canopy spectral invariants expresses the observation that simple algebraic combinations of leaf and canopy spectral reflectance become wavelength independent and determine two canopy structure specific variables – the recollision and escape probabilities. These variables specify an accurate relationship between the spectral response of a vegetation canopy to incident solar radiat...

Ecosystem physical structure, defined by the quantity and spatial distribution of biomass, influences a range of ecosystem functions. Remote sensing tools permit the non-destructive characterization of canopy and root features, potentially providing opportunities to link aboveand belowground structure at fine spatial resolution in functionally meaningful ways. To test this possibility, we emplo...

Exclusion and not using of rangeland in the long term affects the composition and homogeneity of vegetation and consequently leads to the improvement of plants status. In this study, the characteristics and structural changes of the rangeland of Gonbad, Hamadan province, Iran, in 2014 (after 20 years of enclosure) were evaluated using Braun-Blanquet plot, Phytosociology and multivariate analysi...

We present an attempt to apply the spectral invariant approach to canopy scattering of a complex forest canopy. Spectral invariant theory describes a method of expressing photon scattering as a function of purely structural properties of the canopy, the so-called photon recollision probability, p – the probability of a scattered photon undergoing further collision rather than escaping the canop...

This study used an affordable ground-based portable LiDAR system to provide an understanding of the structural differences between old-growth and secondary-growth Southeastern pine. It provided insight into the strengths and weaknesses in the structural determination of portable systems in contrast to airborne LiDAR systems. Portable LiDAR height profiles and derived metrics and indices (e.g., ...
