Measurements of leaf area index using optical method (IAI-2000) in oil palm plantation: accuracy and limitation assessment

Leaf area index (LAI) is an important parameter for characterizing the canopy structure ofa crop. The LAI, which is often used as a critical variable to simulate different ecosystem models, is difficult to measure directly in oil palm. In this study, optical methods for quantifYing variation in LAI...
