摘要:
Thermal infrared remote sensing of diurnal crop canopy temperature variations represents a possible method for determining the availability of soil water to plants. This study was performed to assess the effects of soil water and crop canopy on apparent temperatures observed by means of remote sensors, and to determine the impact of these effects on remote soil water monitoring. Airborne thermal scanner and apparent reflectance data (one date) and ground PRT-5 data (three dates) were collected primarily over barley and other small grain canopies. Plant heights, cover, and available soil water for four layers in the top 20 cm were determined. Analysis of the data showed a close inverse linear relationship between the available water and the day minus night temperature difference δT, for thick barley canopies (plant cover above 90 per cent) only. The use of apparent reflectance values in the visible region did not improve available soil water regression equations substantially. These results suggest that the available water or plant stress could only be accurately determined for thick canopies, and that the reflectance data could probably be used to identify such canopies but would not improve regression estimates of soil water from remote sensing data.
