摘要: Abstract A Poisson model is developed to describe sunfleck or gap size distributions beneath clumped plant canopies. This based on the assumption that foliage clumps are randomly distributed in space and elements within each clump. Using this model, clumping index, leaf area index ( L ), clump element clump, widths were successfully derived for two artificial canopies a thinned pruned Douglas-fir forest stand. It shown existing theories deriving from measurements of canopy fraction have limitations, use architectural information distribution can substantially improve technique indirectly measuring
