    27692777If '''plant_canopy''' and  [#passive_scalar passive_scalar] are set ''.T.'', the canopy acts as an additional scalar source or sink, respectively. The source/sink strength depends on the scalar concentration at the leaf surface, which generally does not vary with time in PALM, and which can be specified with parameter [#leaf_surface_concentration leaf_surface_concentration].\\\\
    27702778Additional heating by the plant canopy is taken into account, if the default value of parameter [#cthf cthf] is altered in the parameter file. In that case, the value of [#surface_heatflux surface_heatflux] specified in the parameter file is not used in the model. Instead, the near-surface heat flux is derived from an exponential function that depends on the cumulative leaf area index.\\\\
