Fig. 1.

Predicted and measured LAI values for 12 herbaceous plant stands. Predictions were made using either SSO models (closed symbols) or EGT models (open symbols). Thick solid line is the one-to-one correspondence, the thin solid and dashed lines are the predicted and the measured regression lines for the SSO and EGT models, respectively. The following stands were studied: Sorghum bicolor, Oryza sativa, Amaranthus cruentus (all three at high and low N availability) and Glycine max (raw data from Anten et al. 1995b), Leersia hexandra, Hymenachne amplexicaulis, Paspalum fasciculatum and Hyparrhenia rufa (raw data taken from Anten et al. 1998).
