The LI-COR Plant Canopy Analyzer is an in situ analyzer manufactured by LI-COR for leaf area index (LAI) measurements. It measures diffuse sky radiation that passes through the canopy across five zenith angels to determine LAI and other canopy characteristics. It can be used for most sky conditions and canopy types, such as row crops, grasslands, isolated trees, and forests. The optical sensor within the Plant Canopy Analyzer has a wavelength range of 320-490 nm. It has a field of view of 148 degrees and an operating temperature range of -20 to 50 degrees Celsius.
