Abstract
Abstract Laboratory reflectance spectra of dry plant materials are distinctly different from green plant materials. The dry plant materials have diagnostic ligno-cellulose absorption features at 2·09 and in the 2·3μm region. The visible portion of spectrum is dominated by an absorption wing produced by intense blue and UV absorption. This absorption wing breaks down as plant decay progresses.
