Oak health and leaf spectral response

Pu, R., M. Kelly, G. L. Anderson and P. Gong. 2008. Spectroscopic determination of health levels of coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) leaves. GeoCarto International 23 (1): 3‐20

The spectroscopic determination of two health levels of the coast live oak leaves was conducted with three sets of spectra. Based on our experimental results and previous work, existing remote sensing techniques, including airborne or satellite remote sensing and multispectral or hyperspectral remote sensing, may be insufficient for monitoring and mapping disease-induced moisture stress in trees that have recently been infected.
