LAI-2200C Plant Canopy Analyzer
World standard for indirect LAI measurements
The LAI‑2200C Plant Canopy Analyzer uses a non-destructive method to easily and accurately measure Leaf Area Index (LAI). It consistently outperforms other methods such as Ceptometry and Hemispherical Photography in terms of flexibility, advanced features, accuracy, and ease of use.
World Standard for Indirect LAI Measurements
The LAI-2200C Plant Canopy Analyzer calculates Leaf Area Index (LAI) and other canopy structure attributes from radiation measurements made with a fisheye optical sensor (148˚ field of view). Measurements made above and below the canopy are used to determine canopy light interception at five angles, from which LAI is computed using a model of radiative transfer in vegetative canopies
The LAI-2200C consistently outperforms other methods in terms of flexibility, advanced features, accuracy, and ease of use.
Canopy Variety
Computes LAI even in row crops and isolated trees that other methods cannot measure
Any Sky
Accurate in most daylight conditions, unlike other methods that require specific sun angles or cloud cover.
GPS Integration and Mapping
Internal Global Positioning System (GPS) module integrates location data into the LAI file for easy mapping in Google Earth.
Proven Results
Designed by scientists and engineers to provide quick and accurate results, as well as advanced processing options.
Applications
Ideal for studies of canopy growth, canopy productivity, forest vigor, canopy fuel load, air pollution deposition modeling, insect defoliation, remote sensing, and the global carbon cycle.
