How to Measure and Use Leaf Area Index

Prepare: Measuring leaf area is an important method in plant ecology and agricultural science. Leaf area index (LAI) is one of the most widely measured variables used to describe plant canopies and plant growth rates. In the past, measuring LAI was destructive because every leaf within a given area needed to be collected and measured. Today, there are a variety of simple and advanced methods that can be used to non-destructively estimate LAI.
