“Nitrogen is metabolized when water and temperature are sufficient, but with so much water, we need to know how much has been flushed away. ...
If you are looking for a classic example of the circle of life, consider the forest canopy structure. A forest’s canopy structure is influenced by environmental and soil factors, and it also influences these factors in return. It is an aspect of forest ecology that is receiving more attention in this age of climate change emergency. The canopy structure is often overlooked, with most of the ...
According to Carly Ziter, an assistant professor of biology in the Faculty of Arts and Science, extensive tree canopy cover in an urban area can dramatically reduce the temperatures of their immediate environs - enough to make a significant difference even within a few city blocks. In a new paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of ...
CWSI values were calculated from the measurements of canopy temperatures by infrared thermometer, air temperatures and vapor pressure deficit values for all the irrigated treatments. ...
Department of Agriculture in Bushland, Texas, is developing new sensors for center-pivot irrigation devices to help farmers ensure that precious groundwater isn’t wasted. The sensors measure leaf-canopy temperature to gauge water demand, which helps avoid over-irrigating. ...

They used 16 prototype wireless sensors on a center-pivot irrigation system to monitor crop canopy temperatures. They chose sorghum because of its importance as a cash crop in the Southern High Plains and because it withstands water stress. Even so, irrigation plays a significant role hi sorghum production in the region, tripling its yields. Crop ...
The relationship between yield and canopy temperature determined at grain filling also showed stronger association with yield. The high-temperature environment showed the strongest associations between SRI and grain yield. The water indices can be used for breeding purposes for selecting high-yielding lines in well-irrigated, water-stressed, and ...
Changes in maize canopy temperature, transpiration, and leaf water potential (LWP) were determined. ...
