Lidar remote sensing has shown high accuracy/precision for quantification of forest biophysical parameters needed for ecological management. Although the significant effect of Bidirectional Scattering ...
Most leaf drop of deciduous trees and shrubs occurs by mid-December. Some plants will start dropping leaves as early as the second week of November while others drop leaves later. But of course, much ...
When deciduous trees begin to change leaf colors in fall in response to short day length and cool night temperatures, it induces the formation of an abscission layer at the base of the leaf stem ...
If you pay any attention to the world around you, you are likely aware of how deciduous trees shed leaves, pollen, seeds, fruits, and yet more pollen into the world around them. Nature, and the ...
• Leaf optical properties impact leaf energy balance and thus leaf temperature. The effect of leaf development on mid-infrared (MIR) reflectance, and hence thermal emissivity, has not been ...
In my last column, I blabbed on about fall colors and how trees are silently but furiously working to survive and grow. This time I will address those questions that have been costing you hours of ...
