Effects of clumping on estimates of stand leaf area index using the LI-COR LAI-2000
Abstract
Eighteen natural second-growth stands of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.) Franco) from a wide range of stand densities and stocking levels were measured for stand leaf area index (LAI) from allometric relationships (direct LAI) and the LI-COR LAI-2000 plant canopy analyzer (indirect LAI). LAI was based on one-half total leaf area (m
