Abstract:
... Leaf area index (LAI) is a key parameter of vegetation structure in the fields of agriculture, forestry, and ecology. Optical indirect methods based on the Beer-Lambert law are widely adopted in numerous fields given their high efficiency and feasibility for LAI estimation. These methods have undergone considerable progress in the past decades, thereby making them operational in ground-based LAI m ...

Abstract:
... Vegetation is a key factor affecting soil erosion, which depends not only on the horizontal structure of vegetation, but also on its vertical structure. The leaf area index (LAI) of plants, as an important structural parameter of the terrestrial ecosystem, can reflect horizontal vegetation coverage, vertical structure of vegetation, litter thickness and underground biomass. All these are the princ ...

Abstract:
... In the accumulation response, chloroplasts move toward weak blue light, staying at positions along the periclinal cell wall. By contrast, in the avoidance response, chloroplasts move away from strong blue light, escaping to positions along the anticlinal cell wall. The accumulation response maximizes light capture and the avoidance response reduces photodamage. The intracellular positioning of chl ...

We tested to what extent the community-weighted means (CWM; functional composition) versus Rao’s dissimilarity of litter nitrogen (N)-to-phosphorus (P) ratios explain the non-additive mixture effect on decomposition rate (k) and associated N release. METHODS: We carried out a one-year field decomposition experiment with ...
