Identifying Subalpine Fir (Abies lasiocarpa) Attacked by the Balsam Woolly Adelgid (Adelges piceae) Using Spectral Measurements of the Foliage
Figure 3
Values for the red green index (ratio of bands centered at 660 nm and 549 nm, resp.) and percent reflectance in a narrow band centered at 670 nm for individual trees infested or not infested with balsam woolly adelgid. The two variables were selected using a stepwise discriminant analysis procedure for distinguishing infested from noninfested trees.
