Canopy Geometry and Plant Architecture at a Leaf Scale
Primary tabs
Overview:
This dataset profiles allometric relationships of fruit trees using 3-D mapping, including one apple, two mango, two rubber, and one walnut.
Dataset Location: Ecological Archives
Site Location: France (apple, walnut) and Thailand (mango, rubber)
Sites Georefferenced: Yes
Sampling Frequency: Once
Methods: Leaf location and orientation were measured using an electromagnetic 3D Digitizer (ala Sinoquet, H., S. Thanisawanyangkura, H. Mabrouk, and P. Kasemsap. 1998. Characterization of the light environment in canopies using 3D digitizing and image processing. Annals of Botany 82:203–212.). Some leaf characteristics are derived by established allometric relationships.
Data Collected: Leaf length, leaf width, estimated area, leaf coordinate, twist and inclination angle, branching orders
