Coniferous species are present in almost all major vegetation biomes on Earth, though they
are the most abundant in the northern hemisphere, where they form the northern tree and …

The remote monitoring of plant canopies is critically needed for understanding of terrestrial
ecosystem mechanics and biodiversity as well as capturing the short-to long-term responses …

The Mediterranean basin can be considered a hot spot not only in terms of climate change
(CC) but also for air quality. Assessing the impact of CC and air pollution on ecosystem …

High altitudes have been exposed to enhanced levels of surface ozone (O3) concentrations
over recent decades compared to the pre-industrial era. The responses of vegetation to this …

The relative concentrations of different pigments within a leaf have significant physiological
and spectral consequences. Photosynthesis, light use efficiency, mass and energy …

Heavy metal contamination, low pH and high substrate heterogeneity are multiple stress
factors that often occur at the post-mining sites and make difficult the biological reclamation …

The objective of this paper is to give an account of the evaluation of the effect of urban
habitat quality on dorsi-ventral leaf reflectance asymmetry to bio-monitor urban habitat …

Acid rain, which has become one of the most severe global environmental issues, is
detrimental to plant growth. However, effective methods for monitoring plant responses to …

Field metrics were investigated using the conifer species Pinus uncinata for the
biomonitoring of tropospheric ozone in the Pyrenees of Catalonia, Spain. The Ozone Injury …

The capacity to remotely identify impacts of ozone on conifers in California, USA and
Catalonia, Spain was investigated using remote sensing and terrain-driven GIS analyses …
