Estimating Individual Leaf Area of Dendrocalamus brandisii: Allometric vs. Regression vs. Machine Learning
Bin Wu, John L. Innes, Shixin Deng, Renyi Gui
Accurate estimation of individual (culm-level) leaf area (LA) is essential to quantifying canopy structure, productivity, and carbon dynamics in bamboo plantations, yet it is often constrained by limited field data and high measurement costs. Using destructive sampling data from…
