Abstract
Forest pests , wilting disease, wood cutting and phenological changes can affect vegetation health . The traditional method for pigment extraction followed by spectrophotometric determination or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) will have to destroy the measured leaves with high costs and a long processing time. Using hyperspectral EO-1 Hyperion remote sensor imagery and a spectral model of leaf pigment reflectance , we examined the two forest health related important parameters, anthocyanin and carotenoid , in the Baiyun Mountain national forest park , China . The remote sensing -derived outcome was validated through in situ sample analyses of canopy leaves. The result shows that the concentrations of anthocyanin and carotenoid indicating the vegetation stress can be quantified using the reflectance index derived from hyperspectral remote sensor imagery. The index has the potential to indicate the regional forest vegetation health . Furthermore, the forest phenological information can be retrieved when multi-temporal hyperspectral images are available.
