  2. Plant canopies: structural andfunctionalproperties • Leaf area index • Inclination of leaves • Leafangle distribution • Leafcurvature • Optical properties • Light extinction coefficient • Gap fraction • Internode length • Canopy photosynthesis • CO2transport (stomatal, mesophyllresistance) • Biochemicalconversion (Rubisco, light) • Transpiration • Light intensity, light quality and availability of water Canopiesunder stress

  9. Modelling canopyprocesses Big leafmodels: treat the canopy as an extended leaf (or a small set of large leaves), map the properties of a whole canopy onto a single leaf (or a fewleaves, Amthor, 1994) Sunlit-shademodels: divide the (big leaf) canopy and leaf nitrogen between sunlit and shaded leaves (de Pury and Farquhar 1997) Multi-layer models: canopy is divided into layers, each with different light level, predicted by Beer’s law, and differentiation into sunlit and shade leaves (including a sunfleck penetration), a coupled scheme of leaf photosynthesisandstomatalconductance (Clark et al., 2011) → noprecisepredictionofthespatial and temporal hetero-geneities of light inside a canopy Canopiesunder stress

  10. Diurnal canopy CO2 uptake rate (Ac) of a rice canopy calculated with average photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) at different layers of a canopy (average light) compared with Ac calculated using the detailed PPFD of each individual facet in the canopy (detailed light).

  11. Spatially explicit modelsofcanopies: Functional-structural plant models (FSPM) Environment Structure Functions Simulate plant growth and development based on individual organs Explicitly allow for feedbacks between plant structure and plant function Interactions between organs Canopies are constructed as assemblies of plants Static Dynamic Canopiesunder stress
