Estimating foliar chemistry of individual tree crowns with imaging spectroscopy

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

    Abstract

    Recent advances in remote sensing are making it possible to measure variations in foliar chemistry and plant productivity across landscapes. The patterns of chemical and energy distributions revealed with imaging spectroscopy can be used to investigate the processes responsible for the function, composition and health of ecosystems, identify areas of stressed or diseased foliage or targeted treatment,estimate forage quality for herbivorous species, and identify some plant species through their unique chemical signatures. The following chapter outlines a method for estimating foliar nutrients and plant secondary metabolites at an individual tree-crown level with imaging spectroscopy data. These are the methods that will be used to create open-source foliar chemistry maps for selected Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN)sites
