Hyperspectral remote sensing of sagebrush canopy nitrogen
Plant canopy nitrogen (N) is associated with ecosystem processes such as photosynthetic and aboveground net primary production, particularly in forested ecosystems. Sagebrush N is directly relatable to wildlife nutritional status and contributes to assessments of habitat quality, productivity, plant / soil water dynamics and controls on canopy photosynthesis. Hyperspectral remote sensing studie...
متن کاملEstimating Canopy Nitrogen Content in a Heterogeneous Grassland with Varying Fire and Grazing Treatments: Konza Prairie, Kansas, USA
Quantitative, spatially explicit estimates of canopy nitrogen are essential for understanding the structure and function of natural and managed ecosystems. Methods for extracting nitrogen estimates via hyperspectral remote sensing have been an active area of research. Much of this research has been conducted either in the laboratory, or in relatively uniform canopies such as crops. Efforts to a...
متن کاملVegetation Indices for Mapping Canopy Foliar Nitrogen in a Mixed Temperate Forest
Hyperspectral remote sensing serves as an effective tool for estimating foliar nitrogen using a variety of techniques. Vegetation indices (VIs) are a simple means of retrieving foliar nitrogen. Despite their popularity, few studies have been conducted to examine the utility of VIs for mapping canopy foliar nitrogen in a mixed forest context. In this study, we assessed the performance of 32 vege...
متن کاملSmall-footprint Lidar Estimations of Sagebrush Canopy Characteristics
The height and shape of shrub canopies are critical measurements for characterizing shrub steppe rangelands. Remote sensing technologies might provide an efficient method to acquire these measurements across large areas. This study compared point-cloud and rasterized lidar data to field-measured sagebrush height and shape to quantify the correlation between field-based and lidar-derived estimat...
متن کاملQuantification of plant stress using remote sensing observations and crop models: the case of nitrogen management.
Remote sensing techniques offer a unique solution for mapping stress and monitoring its time-course. This article reviews the main issues to be addressed for quantifying stress level from remote sensing observations, and to mitigate its impact on crop production by managing cultural practices. The case of nitrogen fertilization is used here as a paradigm. The derivation of canopy state variable...
