6 1. Biodiversity Mapping Focusing to Chlorophyll absorption range (Red edge), tree species are classified in detail. Combined field survey and airborne hyperspectral imagery, spectral library of tree canopy was made and used for tree classification. Spectral library of tree canopy Bilsted Quercus myrsinaefolia Blue Japanese oak Quercus gilva Blume Canadian hemlock Zelkova Japanese cedar White pine Quercus crispula Sequoia sempervirens Site:Tokyo, Japan Data:CASI (2004/9/1) [ nm, 72bans, 1x1m] Betula grossa Stewartia monadelpha Loblolly pine Bald cypress Cedar 20m Bilsted Quercus myrsinaefolia Blue Japanese oak Quercus gilva Blume Canadian hemlock Zelkova Japanese cedar White pine Quercus crispula Sequoia sempervirens Betula grossa Stewartia monadelpha Loblolly pine Bald cypress Cedar Broadleaf trees are classified into species. It s difficult for multispectral data. Japanese cedar Cedar Zelkova Blue Japanese oak Sequoia sempervirens Bilsted White pine Loblolly pine Quercus gilva Blume Bald cypress Quercus myrsinaefolia Stewartia monadelpha Canadian hemlock Betula grossa Quercus crispula 6

7 2. Forest Degradation Mapping Using NDWI as a indicator of water stress, blast disease of oak tree is detected in the early stages. This result shows that the analysis using hyperspectral data can monitor the health condition which multispectral analysis (or visual examination) can not detect.

9 4. Water Potential Mapping Results! Relationship between leaf spectra and water potential and/or water contents " Higher water content and water potential showed higher water index (wet). " Water content and water potential both indicated strong correlation with WBI and NMDI, allowing the modeling using spectral data. " The most accurate model for estimating water content and water potential was derived from LASSO regression using reflectance data. WBI Water potential Water content NMDI
