Leaf area index: Applications, Measurement & Art

Leaf area index (LAI) or leaf area ratio is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes plant canopies. It is defined as the ratio of leaf area (LA) and ground area, in SI units of square meters per square meter (m2/m2). In broadleaf canopies, the leaf area is defined as the one-sided green part of leaves. In conifers, three definitions for LA have been…
