Laser Remote Sensing of Vegetation

  • Chapter
Advances in Bioclimatology

Part of the book series: Advances in Bioclimatology ((ADVS BIOCLIMAT.,volume 3))

Abstract

Most of the presently available methods for remote sensing of plant growth and development are based on measurements of spectral reflectance factors (Ross 1981; Kondratyev and Fedchenko 1982; Rachkulik and Sitnikova 1981; Bauer 1985; Shibayama and Akiyama 1986). These characteristics, however, contain information about the plants themselves, as well as the singularities of the solar radiation regime and other physical parameters of the environment (Kondratyev and Fedchenko 1982). It is, therefore, very difficult to find an unambiguous relationship between the signals measured and parameters that characterize the vegetation condition, such as biomass, chlorophyll and moisture content, occurrence of mineral deficiency, and the presence of other stresses. The procedure for measuring reflectance factors is concerned with the need to measure the standard reflecting surfaces which receive the same illumination as the object. This complicates the measurements considerably and appreciably decreases the accuracy of the reflectance factors measured.
