Early detection of declining forest health is critical for the timely intervention and treatment of droughted and diseased ...

Monitoring forest health typically relies on remote sensing tools such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR), radar, and ...

A research team has developed a new hybrid artificial intelligence framework that can accurately estimate leaf nitrogen content without relying on labor-intensive field measurements.

Monitoring forest health typically relies on remote sensing tools such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR), radar, and ...

One of the most popular techniques for material identification is single bounce ATR spectroscopy. However, in some cases, the specular reflectance sampling technique may still be necessary. Much like ...

Forest reflectance models are able to contribute to the interpretation of satellite images over forested areas. A multipurpose forest reflectance model, its basic ideas, model input and output options ...

The amount of sunlight that Earth reflects back into space — measured by the dim glow seen on the dark portions of a crescent moon’s face — has decreased measurably in recent years. Whether the ...

The way leaves reflect light, known as plant reflectance spectra, can illuminate the evolutionary history of seed plants, according to researchers. The researchers found that by measuring the light ...

An image printed on reflectance paper responds to the direction from which it is illuminated. The reflectance paper is covered with dimples that reflect light from different directions. See video ...

Spectralon® Diffuse Reflectance Standards can offer the highest diffuse reflectance values of any known substance. These durable, chemically inert standards can have typical reflectance values ranging ...
