This work evaluates the potential of remote sensing visible and near infrared spectrometry for studying the dynamics of a temperate deciduous forest. It is conducted with the airborne Reflective Optics Spectrometric Imaging System (ROSIS) in the frame of the European Multisensors Airborne Campaign (EMAC-94). A modeling approach, i.e. coupled canopy and leaf reflectance models, is used for assessing the sensitivity of forest parameters and associated relationships to experimental (illumination and viewing conditions) and biophysical (soil reflectance, forest structure) factors.
