DOI: 10.1007/s00442-017-3926-0
Abstract: Coexistence of multiple species is a fundamental aspect of plant and forest ecology. Although spatial arrangement of leaves within crowns is an important determinant of light interception and productivity, shoot structure varies considerably among coexisting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2020.108185
Abstract: Abstract Foliage clumping is a forest canopy structural feature influencing light interception, the inversion of light interception for estimating leaf area index, and photosynthesis rates. In this study we estimated clumping factor values at the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2019.04.010
Abstract: Abstract Light interception in plant canopies is most commonly estimated using a simple one-dimensional turbid medium model (i.e., Beer's law). Inherent in this class of models are assumptions that vegetation is uniformly distributed in space… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s2095-3119(16)61542-3
Abstract: Abstract Crop growth and yield depend on canopy light interception (LI). To identify a low-cost and relatively efficient index for measuring LI, several color attributes of red-green-blue (RGB), hue-saturation-intensity (HSI), hue-saturation-value (HSV) color models and… read more here.
