Spatial and seasonal variations of leaf area index (LAI) in subtropical secondary forests related to floristic composition and stand characters
Leaf area index (LAI) is an important parameter related to carbon, water, and energy exchange between canopy and atmosphere and is widely applied in process models that simulate production and hydrological cycles in forest ecosystems. However, fine-scale spatial heterogeneity of LAI and its controll...
