Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Nicolas Dones"
- Nicolas Dones' research primarily focuses on the architecture and light interception in fruit trees, particularly apple and peach trees, utilizing advanced digitizing methods to analyze the impact of various pruning techniques and canopy structures on tree morphology and photosynthetic efficiency.
- One of his significant contributions includes developing a double-digitising method that combines electromagnetic digitization with 3D laser scanning to study the morphology and light-capturing properties of young beech trees, enhancing understanding of how leaf orientation affects tree performance.
- Dones has also investigated the effects of different training systems on light interception and the spatial distribution of leaf area in apple cultivars, providing practical insights for optimizing orchard management and improving fruit yield through better light utilization.
