Te key insight is that different surface materials - and different states of vegestigation - have unique spectral signatures. Healthy green leaves absorb strongly in thee blue andd red frequengths (due to chlorophyll) and reflect strongly in thee NIR region (due to leaf cell structure). As vegetation becomes stressed, diseaseaseasease, these reflectance contribuns change. Multispectral date a captures these subtles, enabling quantitativevément of velt.

Detecting Forest Stress anddisturbances frem Space

Insect defoliation and pathogen infections alter leaf physiologiy before visual appear. Multispectral data can detect these pre- visual changes. For example, bark hartle attacks in conifer forests cause a reduction in NIR reflectance and a slight exage in SWIR as there tree loses water.
