Spectral reflectance studies on certain fuel wood species

Spectral reflectance studies are carried out on certain fuel wood species with reference to IRS bands 1, 2, 3 and 4. The reflectance values are correlated with different types of soil substratum, spacing and leaf area index. The radiometric responses of adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaves, reflectance from canopy and transmittance through canopy are studied. Variations in the values are discussed in relation to the above parameters.
