PHYSICAL BARRIER TO LIGHT. “Epicuticular waxes influences leaf reflectance. We analysed the seasonal changes in wax reflectance of Scots pine needles. It tended to decrease with needle age and towards lower positions within the canopy. In addition, we also identified clear seasonal pattern of variation superimposed on the of above-mentioned wax weathering effect.”
