Canopy – The collection of vegetable
|
|
|
matter covering the land surface is called
|
|
|
the plant canopy.
|
|
|
q |
Over moist regions, most of the water
|
|
|
transferred from soil to atmosphere
|
|
|
moves through vegetation.
|
|
|
q |
Water moves into the roots, through the
|
|
|
plant parts to leaves, and passes into the
|
|
|
atmosphere through stomata.
|
|
|
q |
Root and stomata control the exchanges
|
|
|
between the vegetations and the
|
|
|
atmosphere.
|
|
|
q |
The idealized canopy is used to quantify
|
|
|
the vegetation-atmosphere fluxes via LAI
|
|
and leave and atmosphere properties.
