New paper describing the use of the Aquation White light-emitting Reflectance-Absorptance-Transmittance meter or (White-RAT). The earlier Blue-RAT and later version White-RAT enable the direct convenient measurement of leaf absorptance by measuring the proportion of light transmitted through a leaf and that reflected off the leaf. Absorptance is then calculated and displayed on the meter. The…
