Monitoring forest health typically relies on remote sensing tools such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR), radar, and ...

Variability in the leaf phenology of tropical trees impacts their growth. How phenology of tree species responds over rainfall gradient is relevant to study in the light of current climatic changes.

• Leaf optical properties impact leaf energy balance and thus leaf temperature. The effect of leaf development on mid-infrared (MIR) reflectance, and hence thermal emissivity, has not been ...

A research team revealed how deeply drone-mounted optical sensors can detect maize canopy layers using UAV hyperspectral data ...

Forests hide critical ecological information beneath dense canopy layers, where traditional imaging techniques struggle to access.

Graphene is a monolayer of graphite that is of significant interest because of its wide variety of applications in the semiconductor, healthcare, and aerospace fields. The unique properties of ...

Field spectroscopy enables scientists to measure how different materials interact with electromagnetic energy and therefore underpins the technology enabling us to view the world from the air or space ...
