THz Water Transmittance and Leaf Surface Area: An Effective Nondestructive Method for Determining Leaf Water Content

THz Water Transmittance and Leaf Surface Area: An Effective Nondestructive Method for Determining Leaf Water Content

Water availability is a major limiting factor in plant productivity and plays a key role in plant species distribution over a given area. New technologies, such as terahertz quantum cascade lasers (THz-QCLs) have proven to be non-invasive, effective, and accurate tools for measuring and monitoring l...
