Spectroradiometry from Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden population with different ages

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Studies about remote sensing have been performed approaching the object response to radiation, in which soil and vegetation are most investigated in agricultural science. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare reflectance levels from Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden leaves through spectral measures in population with two ages. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Trial was carried out at FEPAGRO experimental plot, located in Santa Maria – RS. Experimental design was completely randomized with population in two ages as treatment (44 and 20 mo) in which were evaluated in North, Center, East, West and South direction. The FieldSpec®3 spectrophotometer was used to estimate the reflected radiance from adaxial surface of leaves in three spectra, visible spectrum (VS, 400-700 µm), near infrared (NIR, 700- 1000 µm) and mid infrared (MIR, 1000-1250 µm). Kruskall-Wallis test was applied using R statistical software. RESULTS: For VS, in 550 µm was observed a reflectance peak associated to total chlorophyll content of leaf, in which the 44-mo population had the highest peak. For NIR and MIR, the Center, North and West directions had the greatest leaf reflectance in 44-mo population. Reflectance tends to the same response through the wavelength of VS, NIR and MIR. CONCLUSION: The response of VS from Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden leaves is different regarding the plant age and different directions of sample collection. The NIR and MIR spectrum have no reflectance standard response regarding the population ages.
