Operational Implementation Plan
Phenological Events
- Vegetative Growth
Estimation of Biophysical Variables
Operational Implementation Plan
- LAI (mean and variability) measurements of 20 plots of coffee in association with Grevillea, Macadamia
- Tree-crown size, and tree exact location in the 20 plots
- Great challenges due to the complexity of the canopy, and the great diversity of vegetal types
- LAI/structure to be analyzed
Biophysical Variables
- LAI (Leaf Area Index)
- Biomass
