SESSION ID: 3366
SECTION/FOCUS GROUP: Biogeosciences (B)
TITLE: Near-surface Remote Sensing of Vegetation Structure, Function and
Stress
CONVENERS/AFFILIATIONS: Christopher J Still, Oregon State University,
Corvallis, OR | Brent R Helliker, University of Pennsylvania | Thomas
Hilker, Oregon State University | Joshua Gray, Boston University
DESCRIPTION:
Remotely sensed data can link biological processes, ecosystem
structure/function, and water and energy fluxes. The objective of this
session is to highlight recent research using near-surface remote
sensing (from tower, balloon, drone, and aircraft platforms) to measure
and diagnose aspects of vegetation structure, function and stress. We
invite contributions from researchers working with a variety of remote
sensing data, from the visible to the thermal infrared. We are
particularly interested in applications focused on diagnosing vegetation
stress from water and/or nutrient deficits and pathogens.
