Abstract:
Leaf mass, a vital parameter of forest ecology and physiology, is estimated in this study. According to the simulation result in this study, leaf shape makes little contribution to the exposure area. Moreover, a four-layer hidden-node neural network model is used in the new model, analyzing correlation between leaf mass and height of trees. Leaves of various areas are tested as sensitivity analysis for the simulation which studied the influence of leaf shape on exposure area. Finally, leaf mass is estimated by a statistical model based on the regression relationship of sapwood area and leaf mass.

Key words:  Four -layer hidden-node neural network model, leaf mass, shape, simulation, , , ,
