Abstract:

The ability to accurately estimate light levels in shaded environments is important for understanding plant adaptations to shade. This study evaluates the effectiveness of three rapid methods of estimating the long-term integrated percentage of above-canopy photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) in a deeply shaded conifer-dominated forest understory. These methods included (i) hemispherical canopy photography, (ii) hemispherical sensors (LAI-2000), and (iii) instantaneous %PPFD. Transmitted PPFD was continuously measured starting in June and ending in November using photodiodes at 60 measur

Abstract:

The essential roles of trees in controlling the local climatic variation, such as air moisture, are still interesting to observe. Therefore, this study must deliver knowledge of the benefits of growing trees and enhance people's awareness of climate change adaptation. Here, the analysis requires several data fields such as hemispherical photography, an aerial photograph of a UAV, and air temperature collected using a wet and dry bulb thermometer, which has converted to air moisture. All these are considered to understand the air moisture change under the trees' canopy during a day observation.

Light environment estimates derived from hemispherical photography are known to be affected by variations in sky illumination. During photo acquisition, rapid changes in sky illumination can occur and will result in changes in detected canopy gap size and frequency. Any resulting problems in image consistency will become more serious with increased time lags between setting the reference exposure and hemispherical photograph acquisition. We showed that if the camera exposure setting was kept constant during photo acquisition, the estimated diffuse transmittance would be greatly influenced by s

Abstract Measured distributions of leaf inclination angles and leaf azimuth angles from one stand of red maple (Acer rubrum L.) are used to modify hemispherical photograph determinations of leaf area index in two other plots of red maple as well as in the stand where structure measurements were made.

Abstract:

Leaf area index (LAI) is a crucial variable in the modelling of many hydrological processes. Destructive sampling of LAI is extremely time-consuming, thus not suitable for monitoring temporal/spatial variations of the variable. In the last fifty years optical instruments retrieving LAI from more easily measurable variables (i.e. transmitted radiation through canopies) have been developed. Several instruments are available on the market, but very few are the studies comparing LAI estimates in agricultural crops. In this paper three optical instruments are compared with destructive sampling for

Abstract:

High image discrimination threshold values tend to be given to canopy hemispherical photographs (CHPs) with high exposure (resulting in bright images), but the effects of exposure on image threshold have been overlooked. A model canopy system was developed to precisely manipulate exposure (in relation to reference exposure measured from an unobscured overcast model sky), canopy openness, gap fragmentation and sky illumination of CHPs. We showed that there was a numerical trade-off relationship between exposure and image threshold of CHPs, whereas the last three factors had negligible effects o

Abstract:

Patches of seasonally dry tropical forests occur on limestone outcrops in Central Brazil surrounded by the dominant savanna vegetation. They contain valuable timber species but are threatened by farming and mining activities. The objective of this study was to describe canopy opening and light relations in two seasonally deciduous dry forests on slopes and limestone outcrops, in the Paranã valley at the northeastern region of the Goiás state, Brazil. The studied forests were in the Fazenda Sabonete in Iaciara-Go and Fazenda Forquilha in Guarani-GO. Woody plants were sampled in 25 (20 x 20 m) p

Abstract:

Several methods exist for measuring forest canopies following disturbance, and the biases and differences among them are unclear. We compared techniques for measuring the northern hardwood forest's canopy structure at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, New Hampshire, following the severe ice storm of January 510, 1998. Methods included leaf area index (LAI) using LI-COR's LAI-2000, visual damage assessments based on tree branch loss, radiation estimates from hemispherical photographs, and LAI determined from litterfall. LAI-2000 measurements were not significantly related to visual damage

Abstract:

Accurate and efficient measurement of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is critical in ecological studies. We evaluated 25 metrics of PAR with respect to predicting growth of sugar maple ( Acer saccharum Marsh.) and white ash ( Fraxinus americana L.) saplings from understory to large gap conditions. PAR metrics were derived from gallium arsenide photodiodes, hemispherical canopy photographs (film and digital), and a LI-COR LAI-2000 plant canopy analyzer. In general, percent canopy openness, estimated with film photographs or LAI-2000, best predicted growth. Mean daily photosynthetic ph

Abstract:

Research Highlights: This paper proposes a new method for hemispherical forest canopy image segmentation. The method is based on a deep learning methodology and provides a robust and fully automatic technique for the segmentation of forest canopy hemispherical photography (CHP) and gap fraction (GF) calculation. Background and Objectives: CHP is widely used to estimate structural forest variables. The GF is the most important parameter for calculating the leaf area index (LAI), and its calculation requires the binary segmentation result of the CHP. Materials and Methods: Our method consists of

Abstract:

Abstract Hemispherical photography provides permanent records of forest canopy structure. We analysed digital hemispherical images taken during the period of 2007–2018 in a mature silver birch stand located in Järvselja, Estonia. The stand was thinned in 2004. Understory trees were removed in the spring of 2018. Images were processed using the LinearRatioSC method. Effective plant area index Leff during the leafless phenophase increased as a result of tree growth from 0.92 to 1.24 and understory cutting was not detectable. During the full foliage condition Leff increased from 3.6 in 2008 to 5.
