Extract

Measurements of the area of individual leaves in crops are useful in the analysis of canopy architecture as they allow determination of the structure of leaf area index in a vertical profile. This information may be of use in modelling leaf growth and the assessment of photosynthetic potential of different strata of the canopy with ontogeny (cf. Firman & Allen, 1988).
