1、 Purpose:
By using the WinScanopy plant canopy analysis system, the shape (size and position, canopy distribution), canopy closure, upper and lower light radiation, solar radiation flux, measurement point factor, transmittance area, and leaf area index of the plant canopy in forest ecosystems can be measured, which can well reflect the accumulation of forest biomass and the ability of vegetation to compete for environmental resources.
2、 Principle:
It uses a high-resolution professional digital camera to capture high-definition spherical digital images through a fisheye lens, and uses professional analysis software for graphic analysis and calculation to obtain complete relevant parameters.
3、 Composition:
The WinSCANOPY plant canopy analysis system includes the following three models, and the structural composition of each model is shown in the table below:
