Background
LP-80 meteris a smart way to measure how much lightis intercepted by a plant canopy and
calculate leaf area index. It measures photosynthetically active radiation and the data can be used with other climate data to estimate biomass production without destroying the plant. Stomatal conductance is measured by measuring vaporflux from the leafthrough the stomata, it enables you to tellthe difference between transpiring leaves and ones that have shut down. High-speed results, ease of use, and a low cost mean more measurements in less time without blowing your budget.
All-In-OneWeather Station measures 12 variables in single equipment, no moving parts and all data transmitted over a single wire.
