A new method predicts leaf optical properties from traits, improving canopy light modeling and photosynthesis estimates in ...

A research team has developed a new way to measure and predict how plant leaves scatter and reflect light, revealing that ...

A team has developed a model that treats photosynthesis as a dynamic process rather than an activity that either is or is not happening. This allowed the group to examine the impacts of the many ...

An empirical model for describing daily courses of net photosynthesis in Hammada scoparia is being developed. The model is based on the functional relationships, by which various environmental factors ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Komorebi is a Japanese word that describes how light filters through leaves--creating shifting, dappled "sunflecks" that illustrate plants' ever-changing light environment. Crops ...

By combining a custom-built optical instrument with physics-based modeling and machine learning, the study shows that leaf-level optical properties ...
