Among the physical processes of land surfaces, canopy radiative transfer is especially important. It plays a key role in controlling land-atmosphere flux exchanges by determining surface albedo and ...

Three-dimensional models of seagrass canopies were constructed by treating leaves as flexible strips that fall under their own weight into naturalistic canopy structures. Canopy structures ...

Light interception is a driving variable for many key ecosystem processes in forests. Canopy gaps, as natural irregularities, are common features of Pacific Northwest conifer forests and have profound ...

The latest phase of the Radiation Transfer Model Inter-comparison (RAMI-V) aimed to improve the accuracy of radiative transfer models (RTMs) used for simulating radiation measurements over plant ...

The objectives of this project are to i) better understand the correlations between spectral reflectance and structural metrics and structure-trait cause-and-effect relationships; ii) propose a data ...
