Photosynthetic radiation regime and canopy structure in modeled forest stands

Oker-Blom P. (1986). Photosynthetic radiation regime and canopy structure in modeled forest stands. Acta Forestalia Fennica no. 197 article id 7643. https://doi.org/10.14214/aff.7643

Abstract

The relationship between canopy structure and photosynthetic radiation regime are studied in a theoretical basis. In modelling the canopy structure, a statistical approach is applied and the radiation field inside a stand is described in terms of random variables and their distribution. A comparison is made between horizontally homogenous stands and grouped forest stands in order to assess the influence of grouping of foliage on the irradiance distribution in a forest stand. Results show that grouping considerably reduces the interception of radiation and causes a large spatial variation. In coniferous stands the grouping of needles into shoots and the effect of penumbra are shown to have an important influence on the distribution of radiation on the needle area.
