Figure 5. km67 images: (A) Webcam image (courtesy Fernando Santo); and (B) uncalibrated spectral reflectance images from Tetracam 3-band camera system: red (top), NIR (middle), and 2-band Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI, bottom). A reference white plate is visible in each (allowing future calibration).

Fig 8. Photosynthetic light response curves (left) and reflectance hyperspectra for the young and mature leaves of Moracia spp in eastern Amazonia. Young leaves with stronger photosynthetic response (left), also have a stronger “green” peak (~550 nm) and higher reflectance throughout the red regions (680-730nm), giving a distinctly different vegetation index.

Figure 9. FLiES model simulations of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR) for tropical forest canopy under broken clouds with high diffuse fraction (left) and clear sky conditions (right) for the same solar zenith angle. 2-D variation in APAR for sample vertical slice through canopy is displayed.
