Equations used to calculate extinction coefficients for radiation in plant canopies tend either to be too simple to describe canopy radiation accurately, or too complex for convenient computation. An equation has been derived using the assumption that the angular distribution of leaf area in a canopy is similar to the distribution of area on the surface of a prolate or oblate spheroid. This is, therefore, a generalization of the spherical leaf angle distribution which is frequently used for plant canopies. Simulated leaf angle distributions generated using this model closely approximate measured leaf angle distributions for plant canopies. Extinction coefficients calculated from the model give values which are virtually identical to those calculated using six leaf angle classes.
