Leaf wetness within a lily canopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A wetness duration experiment was carried out within a lily field situated adjacent to coastal dunes in the Netherlands. A within-canopy model was applied to simulate leaf wetness in three layers, with equal leaf area indices, within the canopy. This simulation model is an extension of an existing model. It appeared that in most cases leaf wetness started in the uppermost layer followed by the middle and bottom layer, respectively. The same occurred during the early morning drying process. Just after sunrise the upper layer started to dry, followed by the middle and bottom layer, respectively. The longest leaf wetness duration occurred in the bottom layer. The calculated leaf wetness durations were within 10 minutes of the results obtained using a leaf wetness sensor.

Sensitivity analysis of leaf wetness duration within a potato canopy
A description and analysis is given of a wetness duration experiment, carried out in a potato field in the centre of the Netherlands in September 2005. The observations are used to design and evaluate a within-canopy dew model which provides the leaf wetness distribution within the canopy caused by dew processes and by precipitation. This withincanopy dew model consists of three layers (bottom,...
متن کاملSimulation of surface wetness with a water budget and energy balance approach
Surface wetness plays an important role in environmental studies. In particular, it is a major variable for plant disease prediction. Surface wetness is commonly measured with electronic sensors but simulation with a surface wetness model is an alternative. Recently, the increased use of interpolation procedures and atmospheric models to produce site-specific weather products has created a grea...

متن کاملA laboratory assessment of wetness sensors for leaf, fruit and trunk surfaces
A laboratory assessment has been made of the performance and applicability of several different conductimetric wetness detectors for use in monitoring water distribution on different plant surfaces in a tree canopy. Leaf surfaces were monitored using parallel electrode clip sensors and grid sensors. Fruit and trunk wetness was monitored using parallel electrode sensors encircling fruit and trun...
متن کاملSimulations of tropical rainforest albedo: is canopy wetness important?
Accurate information on surface albedo is essential for climate modelling, especially for regions such as Amazonia, where the response of the regional atmospheric circulation to the changes on surface albedo is strong. Previous studies have indicated that models are still unable to correctly reproduce details of the seasonal variation of surface albedo. Therefore, it was investigated the role o...
