1D light models as accurate are as 3D at estimating dry matter
Researchers compare trade-offs between simplicity and accuracy when modelling greenhouse cucumber canopies.
Principles of resilient coding for plant ecophysiologists
Tired: Remembering if ‘ACi_sol_C_1.xlsx’ or ‘ACi_sol_D_v3.xlsx’ has correct parameter estimates. Wired: Using reproducible, scalable code to analyse data.
Should you plant your tomato rows oriented north to south or east to west?
A new study challenges the conventional wisdom of row orientation.
Resolving interactions between plant structure and function
A new study reveals the impact of spatial resolution on accurately representing the interactions between plant canopy structure and function.
