Abstract
The remote detection of environmentally induced stresses that manifest themselves in tree foliage is gaining in importance. These stresses can be the consequence of an invasion of insects or onset of disease, change in growth limiting factors such as temperature and/or moisture, or a decline in the availability of nutrients. These stresses may result in a full range of changes to the plant physiological processes from relatively subtle responses such as a decrease in the chlorophyll content and increasing chlorosis to very dramatic changes such as shedding of foliage (Dickson and Isebrands 1991).
