One of the major applications for remote sensing technology is vegetation studies. Remote sensing is used for the management of land and water resources, crop forecasting, disaster assessment, yield production, canopy studies, and other vegetation applications. Spectral reflectance properties in different wavelength bands are critical to vegetation identification, crop yield forecasting, and crop condition assessment. The cells in plant leaves effectively scatter light because of the high contrast in the index of refraction between water-rich cell contents and the inter-cellular air spaces. Plants that are engaged in photosynthesis use blue and red light as energy sources. They reflect little light back from these wavelengths.
