Abstract
Asparagus ferns (Asparagus densiflorus) photosynthesize through tiny cladophylls.
In temperate seasons in Japan, cladophylls successively arise laterally from the main stem of some asparagus ferns and form foliages; in this study, we have referred to such ferns as lateral asparagus ferns.
Although some reports have inferred a link between the photosynthesis of lateral asparagus ferns and spear yield, there is still uncertainty regarding modeling light interception by canopies of lateral asparagus ferns.
The goal of this study is to develop an appropriate technique to manage lateral asparagus ferns in Japan through a model-based evaluation of their photosynthetic activities.
The objective of the current study was to estimate the light extinction coefficient of lateral asparagus ferns.
Using a numerical method, the coefficients were obtained from the vertical profile of the solar radiation in a canopy of lateral asparagus ferns and a leaf area index (LAI) sensor.
The results showed that there were barely any changes in the light extinction coefficients of the lateral asparagus ferns throughout this ≥100-day period even though data on lateral asparagus ferns with different LAI values had been used for the estimation.
The proposed method would be helpful for accurately estimating light extinction coefficients of lateral asparagus ferns.
