Abstract
Leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) is considered
as one of the key indicators of photosynthetic activity and thus the overall
health of the plant. In present study an attempt has been made to compare
selected indices and identify best index for quantification of LCC using leaf
level laboratory reflectance spectra. Leaf samples of teak, bamboo, and other
mixed vegetation tree species were collected from the field and averaged
readings were taken (n=15). Leaf thickness, pigmentation, and reflectance of
entire electromagnetic spectrum were measured for the same leaf samples.
Results showed that the R2 values for estimation of total, a, b,
were higher (> 0.70) for indices based on red edge effect and near infrared
region (NIR). Results in present study clearly illustrated the relationship
between number of palisade layer and reflection in NIR region.
