Abstract/Contents:"As the acreage of Iowa's tallgrass prairie remnants decreases, the need for accurate and reliable methods of monitoring prairie health and productivity increases. Since remote sensing has been proven to be a reliable tool in evaluating the health and productivity of agricultural cropping systems, its use in natural plant systems may be appropriate as well. The effects of litter and green leaf biomass on percentage reflectance were assessed at Doolittle Prairie on 25 June 1999 and 22 July 1999. Removal of a proportion of litter or green leaf biomass from one-meter-diameter circles were preceded by percentage reflectance measurements with a hand-held, multispectral radiometer. Regression analysis showed no significant linear relationship between litter removed (dry wt) and the percentage of sunlight reflected (810 nm) from the prairie canopy. However, there was a significant linear relationship between the removal of green leaf biomass (dry wt) and the percentage of sunlight reflected (810 nm) (R-squared > 0.95), signifying that percentage reflectance is a good indicator of green leaf biomass."
