Spectral absorption and water status in coast live oak leaves

Pu, R., S. Ge, N. M. Kelly, and P. Gong. 2003. Spectral absorption features as indicators of water status in coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) leaves. International Journal of Remote Sensing 24(9): 1799-1810 

A total of 139 reflectance spectra (between 350 and 2500 nm) from coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) leaves were measured in the laboratory with a spectrometer. Correlation analysis was conducted between absorption features, three-band ratio indices derived from the spectra and corresponding relative water content (RWC, %) of oak leaves. Pdf download.
