There are a lot of techniques relevant for the purpose automated leaf recognition for plant classification. Many algorithms have been introduced in the past decade and achieved good performance. Efforts have focused upon many other fields but properties of features have not been well investigated. A group of features is selected in advance but important feature properties are not well used to f...

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the resource allocation among the organs and the leaf morphology of Polygonatum humile. The data were collected from June 2014 to May 2015 in a natural P. humile stand of a temperate forest gap. Results: The dry weight of new rhizome (R0) sharply decreased to the time of new shoot sprouting in next year and was constant for 2 ~ 3 years. However, ...

This study examined how leaf and stem functional traits related to gas exchange and water balance scale with two potential proxies for tree hydraulic architecture: the leaf area:sapwood area ratio (A(L):A(S)) and wood density (rho(w)). We studied the upper crowns of individuals of 15 tropical forest tree species at two sites in Panama with contrasting moisture regimes and forest types. Transpir...

The sizes and shapes (physiognomy) of fossil leaves are widely applied as proxies for paleoclimatic and paleoecological variables. However, significant improvements to leaf-margin analysis, used for nearly a century to reconstruct mean annual temperature (MAT), have been elusive; also, relationships between physiognomy and many leaf ecological variables have not been quantified. Using the recen...

ABSTRACT: Leaf area is an important growth variable in agricultural crops and the leaf main of interest tobacco industry. So, aim this scientific research was to estimate Burley by linear dimensions leaves determine which mathematical model more adequate for purpose. Two experiments were carried out with tobacco, cultivar DBH 2252, 2016/2017 2018/2019 years, respectively, municipalities Itaqui ...
