abstract = {High-resolution airborne thermal infrared (TIR) together
with sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) and hyperspectral
optical images (visible, near- and shortwave infrared;
VNIR/SWIR) were jointly acquired over an experimental site.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of
these state-of-the-art remote sensing techniques for
detecting symptoms similar to those occurring during water
stress (hereinafter referred to as ‘water stress
symptoms’) at airborne level. Flights with two camera
systems (Telops Hyper-Cam LW, Specim HyPlant) took place
during 11th and 12th June 2014 in Latisana, Italy over a
commercial grass (Festuca arundinacea and Poa pratense) farm
with plots that were treated with an anti-transpirant agent
(Vapor Gard®; VG) and a highly reflective powder (kaolin;
KA). Both agents affect energy balance of the vegetation by
reducing transpiration and thus reducing latent heat
dissipation (VG) and by increasing albedo, i.e., decreasing
energy absorption (KA). Concurrent in situ meteorological
data from an on-site weather station, surface temperature
and chamber flux measurements were obtained. Image data were
processed to orthorectified maps of TIR indices (surface
temperature (Ts), Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI)), SIF
indices (F687, F780) and VNIR/SWIR indices (photochemical
reflectance index (PRI), normalised difference vegetation
index (NDVI), moisture stress index (MSI), etc.). A linear
mixed effects model that respects the nested structure of
the experimental setup was employed to analyse treatment
effects on the remote sensing parameters. Airborne Ts were
in good agreement (∆T < 0.35 K) compared to in situ Ts
measurements. Maps and boxplots of TIR-based indices show
diurnal changes: Ts was lowest in the early morning,
increased by 6 K up to late morning as a consequence of
increasing net radiation and air temperature (Tair) and
remained stable towards noon due to the compensatory cooling
effect of increased plant transpiration; this was also
confirmed by the chamber measurements. In the early morning,
VG treated plots revealed significantly higher Ts compared
to control (CR) plots (p = 0.01), while SIF indices showed
no significant difference (p = 1.00) at any of the
overpasses. A comparative assessment of the spectral domains
regarding their capabilities for water stress detection was
limited due to: (i) synchronously overpasses of the two
airborne sensors were not feasible, and (ii) instead of a
real water stress occurrence only water stress symptoms were
simulated by the chemical agents. Nevertheless, the results
of the study show that the polymer di-1-p-menthene had an
anti-transpiring effect on the plant while photosynthetic
efficiency of light reactions remained unaffected. VNIR/SWIR
indices as well as SIF indices were highly sensitive to KA,
because of an overall increase in spectral reflectance and
thus a reduced absorbed energy. On the contrary, the TIR
domain was highly sensitive to subtle changes in the
temperature regime as induced by VG and KA, whereas
VNIR/SWIR and SIF domain were less affected by VG treatment.
The benefit of a multi-sensor approach is not only to
provide useful information about actual plant status but
also on the causes of biophysical, physiological and
photochemical changes},
