Description of measured nodes and branches, which are used to develop the 3-D soybean canopy model at different stages in this study.
| ID | Nodes and branches | Description |
|---|---|---|
| VU | Unifoliate node | Fully developed leaves at the unifoliate node |
| V1 | The first node | Fully developed trifoliate leaf at the node above the unifoliate node |
| V2 | The second node | Two nodes on the main stem with fully developed trifoliate leaves |
| V(n) | The nth node | n nodes on the main stem with fully developed trifoliate leaves |
| BV1 | The first node of a branch | First fully developed trifoliate leaf at the first node of a branch |
| BV2 | The second node of a branch | Two nodes on a branch with fully developed trifoliate leaves |
| BV(n) | The nth node of a branch | n nodes on a branch with fully developed trifoliate leaves |
| Br1 | The first branch | Branch developed on the main stem at V1 |
| Br2 | The second branch | Branch developed on the main stem at V2 |
| Br(n) | The nth branch | Branch developed on the main stem at V(n) |
