Existing leaf radiation models are reviewed. A new concept of the optical model of the leaf as a multiphase system containing three aggregate ensembles of particles significantly different in microphysical and optical characteristics is proposed. The proposed model is based on the reconstruction of the particle size distribution function from the experimental leaf absorption spectrum. Based on the obtained microphysical model of the plant leaf, the spectra of optical radiation reflection and transmission in the range of 400–800 nm are calculated for various relative concentrations of light-absorbing pigments (chlorophyll a, b and carotenes) and various leaf thicknesses. Optical radiation propagation was simulated using the stochastic Monte Carlo method. The simulation results are in good agreement with relevant experimental spectra.
