Overview

Spectral signatures from soils and vegetation can be interpreted to understand physical processes of ecosystems operating at the molecular, particulate, leaf and canopy scales. This book presents spectroscopic and remote sensing applications which have been used to diagnose the presence of evaporates in saline soils, active microwave techniques to measure soil moisture content, laser light scattering methods, application of electromagnetic theory in leaf reflectance, landscape evolution, remote sensing in climate change, weed detection, fluorescence imaging, radiative transfer, and plant stress detection on landscapes. The series of chapters in this book provides a unique perspective on approaches to monitoring of the environment through the use of remote sensing which graduate students and environmental researchers will find useful.
