Leaf spectroscopy measurements of eucalyptus leaves in the field

Abstract

Abstract This protocol outlines a simple procedure for the measurement and calculation of reflectance and transmittance radiance of eucalyptus leaves in the field using a handheld spectrometer. This protocol is useful as it allows for rapid measurement of leaf optical properties which provide insights into a range of physical and biochemical traits. The procedure requires specialised equipment to be completed, but the procedure can be followed regardless of the brand of the instrument.
