With the growing influence of climate change, it is critical to have effective tools to monitor environmental health. Climate change and land use change are affecting ecosystems drastically, and vegetation is often the first to show symptoms. Stress factors can come in the form of invasive species, reduced water availability, and land use change. Increasing economic activity, growing populations, and changes in temperature and precipitation regimes pose major threats to freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity in many catchments (Ramoelo et al., 2014). Climate change will compound the threat of alien plants on water resources, and it is predicted to accelerate the rate of invasive plant spread. Remote sensing using a small leaf adapter can give a robust analysis of the overall health of plants by analyzing indices like NDWI, leaf water potential, leaf nitrogen, moisture stress index, and many more.
