The Effect of Epidermal Structures on Leaf Spectral Signatures of Ice Plants (Aizoaceae)

  • René Hans-Jürgen Heim,
  • Norbert Jürgens,
  • André Große-Stoltenberg and
  • Jens Oldeland

15 December 2015

Epidermal structures (ES) of leaves are known to affect the functional properties and spectral responses. Spectral studies focused mostly on the effect of hairs or wax layers only. We studied a wider range of different ES and their impact on spectral...
