Modelling canopy photosynthesis using parametersdetermined from simple non-destructivemeasurements

Most models for canopy photosynthesis require a large number of parameters as input which have to be determined by means of direct measurements. Such measurements are usually expensive, time consuming and destructive. The objective of the present study was, therefore, to develop a simple but accurate canopy photosynthesis model based on a minimum number of parameters that can be determined nondestructively. The results from previous studies...
