All plant species intercepting or touching the tape previously set in the two diagonals were noted.
Plots were shaded with nets intercepting 50 % of the incident photosynthetically active radiation.
The c anopies o f these clones were assessed i n ter ms of their leaf area index and the fraction of incident radiation intercepted.
Canopies in other years were sufficiently large to have intercepted more than 0.8 of incident light during this phase.
The radiation intercepted by green tissue at this time is severely reduced by the layer of flowers, which absorb and reflect radiation.
The remaining light fog events were completely intercepted by the tree foliage before the water could reach the ground.
