Spectroscopy of plants – What light spectra can tell us about functional, taxonomic, and phylogenetic plant biodiversity
Please join us for our next Wheatland Seminar! Anna K. Schweiger Postdoctoral Researcher University of Zurich & Université de Montréal Wednesday, November 18, 2020 1:00 pm ET via Zoom (https://maine.zoom. us/j/95874189170)
Airborne Hyperspectral Data Application in Health Stress Detection of Blueberry Fields and Ash Trees
Advanced detection of health stress in agricultural fields and forests can prompt management responses to mitigate detrimental conditions such as nutrient deficiencies, disease, and mortality. New applications in hyperspectral data and imaging spectroscopy on agriculture and forests have shown the potential for early stress detection. We build on previous work by assessing two different systems; […]
Wouter Hantson
Wouter Hantson is a PhD candidate in the School of Forest Resources. His research focuses on investigating the patterns of vegetation-permafrost dynamics as determined by landscape-scale disturbance. His research activities are organized within three objectives designed to build a scaling framework to: Measure the local-scale heterogeneity of vegetation composition and structure along gradients of disturbance […]
Investigating the patterns of vegetation-permafrost dynamics as determined by landscape-scale disturbance
The University of Maine conducts research in collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory toward a subset of science objectives outlined in the Phase 3 proposal of the Next-generation Ecosystem Experiments (NGEE) in the Arctic. The NGEE-Arctic project is using observations, experiments and modeling to improve our predictive understanding of Arctic ecosystem […]
