A research team has developed a new way to measure and predict how plant leaves scatter and reflect light, revealing that ...

By combining a custom-built optical instrument with physics-based modeling and machine learning, the study shows that leaf-level optical properties ...

A weird-looking parasitic plant has discarded all its photosynthesis machinery – and nevertheless has found a way to thrive.

Forests represent a cornerstone of global ecological processes, providing essential services such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity support, and climate ...

The basics of photosynthesis are something that every student learns in school: carbon dioxide, water and light in; oxygen ...

The basics of photosynthesis are something that every student learns in school: carbon dioxide, water and light in; oxygen and sugar for growth out ...

An abstract for Chris' talk can be found below. Please note the day and location for APEX this term: Fridays at lunchtime, 1-2 pm GMT, in Birkbeck room MAL 612, 6th floor of the Birkbeck main Malet ...

Using a three-dimensional canopy photosynthesis model validated in real greenhouse conditions, they found that enhancing parameters such as light quantum efficiency under limiting light (κ₂LL) and ...

Net photosynthesis (AN) is a key component of the global carbon cycle influencing climate feedback over decadal scales. Although plant acclimation to environmental changes can modify AN, traditional ...

Hello, I recently came across an impressive YouTube video demonstrating a dynamic 3D simulation of soybean plant structures. However, I've been unable to find any open-source examples or libraries ...

We have extended a conventional photosynthesis model to simulate field and laboratory measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence at the leaf scale. The fluorescence paramaterization is based on a close ...
