Abstract
A simple model based on the Kubelka-Munk theory of scattering is used to describe a relationship between reflection ratios (ρ1/ρ2) in two contrasting wavebands and fractional light absorption by a canopy. The analysis reveals that whilst the relationship between ratio and vegetation is curvilinear, it varies linearly with the fraction of photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by vegetation.Keywords
