Detection Of Moisture Stress In Eucalyptus Camaldulensis Using Leaf-Level Spectral Reflectance: Implications For Remote Sensing, Laurie A. Chisholm

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

Foliage moisture stress may be detectable by remote sensing using high resolution spectral data, but meaningful diagnosis requires that plant water status be assessed on the ground under controlled conditions. Design parameters of an experimental plantation of E. camaldulensis (River red gum), were used to examine tree-level responses to moisture stress, as measured by xylem water potential, and relationships to physiological parameters including spectral reflectance, chlorophyll flurescence, and cholorphyll across a range of stress categories.
