How plants interact with sunlight is central to the existence of life and provides a window to
the functioning of ecosystems. Although the basic properties of leaf spectra have been …

Images taken at different spectral bands are increasingly used for characterizing plants and
their health status. In contrast to conventional point measurements, imaging detects the …

Leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf equivalent water thickness (EWT) are key leaf functional
traits providing information for many applications including ecosystem functioning modeling …

The optical properties of leaves from five species, Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.),
cotoneaster (Cotoneaster alaunica Golite), hazel (Corylus avellana L.), Siberian dogwood …

Fuel moisture content (FMC) is used in forest fire danger models to characterise the moisture
status of the foliage. FMC expresses the amount of water in a leaf relative to the amount of …

Wildland fires burn large areas of the earth's land surface annually, causing significant
environmental damage and danger to human health. In order to mitigate the effects, and to …

Nondestructive techniques developed by the authors for assessment of chlorophylls,
carotenoids, and anthocyanins in higher plant leaves and fruits are presented. The spectral …

The aim was to assess the usefulness of spectral data to detect structural and physiological
changes in Citrus crops under water and saline stress. Multispectral images were acquired …

To assess the UV-screening capacity of plant surface structures, the optical properties of
isolated cuticle and detached peel of apple fruit (Malus domestica Borkh., cv. Antonovka) …

The aim of this study was to follow the response to drought stress in a Poa pratensis canopy
exposed to various levels of soil moisture deficit. We tracked the changes in the canopy …
