Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) was employed to detail the vegetation canopy structure and capture the volume of three-dimensional point clouds of the leaves (L_V3DPC), as well as the shade at each case study site. Meteorological parameters were measured at each site. Statistical analysis was ...
Gavin and David R. Peart 摘要: Tetramerista glabra has a remarkable combination of life history traits. It is a dense-wooded, large, common canopy tree in primary peat swamp rain forest. Its seedlings, although shade tolerant, can grow rapidly in high light conditions, but frequently lack ...
windbreak. Deciduous trees to the south can shade the collector area during warmer weather. It may be possible to plant deciduous trees in such a way as to channel summer winds into the house. In general, topography, soil, drainage, and vegetation must be considered to make the best design...
CanopyCast is a digital solar analysis application that analyses shade and UV index reduction provided by trees. It has been developed to help inform decision makers and local governments in the planning and planting of shade trees. The Shade tree guidance presents the research and thinking that h...
Urban vegetations have infinite proven benefits for urban inhabitants including providing shade, improving air quality, and enhancing the look and feel of communities. But creating a complete inventory is a time consuming and resource intensive process. The extraction of urban vegetation is a challengin...
drastic as those of habitats. In addition to changes that take place within chronological time, tree species and forests change during developmental time—for example, seedlings of trees such as whitepine(Pinus strobus) are generally more tolerant of shade than are the adult forms of the species...
same features as industrial crops: they are often, but not exclusively, single species and they tend to be block plantings, though size may be as little as 0.01ha. As well as supplying one or more products they may confer benefits of shade and shelter, amenity, and even soilerosion ...
Tree canopies are considered to effectively buffer climate extremes and to mitigate climate change effects. Droughts, which are predicted to become more frequent in the course of climate change, might alter the microclimatic cooling potential of trees. H
However, for local communities in African drylands, many of the primary uses of cropland trees are food, fodder, shade, and fuel-wood, or their role in agroforestry systems8. Such cropland trees are usually widely spaced and can be individualized in our tree cover map. This lends itself ...
