“…As a result, it is more difficult for multispectral imagery to accurately capture changes in forest SPAD than hyperspectral imagery. Previous studies have attempted to enhance the prediction of plant canopy SPAD by modifying the features integrated into modeling [22][23][24] and by exploring and contrasting diverse model construction techniques [25][26][27]. However, factors like geographical region, lighting conditions, image capture elevation, and terrain can impact model construction and predictive performance [28,29].…”

This study aimed to streamline the determination of chlorophyll content in Cunninghamia lanceolate while achieving precise measurements of canopy chlorophyll content. Relative chlorophyll content (SPAD) in the Cunninghamia lanceolate canopy were assessed in the study area using the SPAD-502 portable chlorophyll meter, alongside spectral data collected via onboard multispectral imaging. And based on the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) multispectral collection of spectral values in the study area, 21 vegetation indices with significant correlation with Cunninghamia lanceolata canopy SPAD (CCS) were constructed as independent variables of the model’s various regression techniques, including partial least squares regression (PLSR), random forests (RF), and backpropagation neural networks (BPNN), which were employed to develop a SPAD inversion model. The BPNN-based model emerged as the best choice, exhibiting test dataset coefficients of determination (R2) at 0.812, root mean square error (RSME) at 2.607, and relative percent difference (RPD) at 1.942. While the model demonstrated consistent accuracy across different slope locations, generalization was lower for varying slope directions. By creating separate models for different slope directions, R2 went up to about 0.8, showcasing favorable terrain applicability. Therefore, constructing inverse models with different slope directions samples separately can estimate CCS more accurately.

The Dunhuang murals are a precious treasure of China’s cultural heritage, yet they have long been affected by salt damage. Traditional methods for detecting salt content are costly, inefficient, and may cause physical harm to the murals. Among current techniques for measuring salt content in murals, hyperspectral remote sensing technology offers a non-invasive, circumventing issues of high costs, low efficiency. Building on this, the study constructs an inversion model for the Electrical Conductivity (EC) values of mural plaster subjected to phosphate erosion, through the integration of Fractional Order Differentiation (FOD), a novel three-band spectral index, and the Partial Least Squares Regression algorithm. The specific research contents include: (1) Initially, in preparation for the experiments, the materials used to create the samples underwent a rigorous desalting process, and phosphate solutions were prepared using deionized water to ensure uniform experimental conditions and the accuracy of the results. These meticulous preprocessing steps guaranteed that the measured EC values exhibited a clear correlation with the phosphate content. Subsequently, by employing qualitative experimental analysis techniques, this study was able to more accurately simulate the real-world scenarios of mural plaster affected by salt damage, enabling a deeper investigation into the mechanisms by which salts inflict microscopic damage to murals. (2) Explores the absorption mechanisms and characteristic spectral bands of the Electrical Conductivity (EC) values measured after the phosphate erosion of mural plaster. By integrating the optimal spectral indices, a univariate linear regression model is constructed, providing a basis for the rapid quantitative measurement of electrical conductivity in murals. (3) By comparing the accuracy of the Phosphate Simple Ratio (PSR) and Phosphate Normalized Difference Index (PNDI) spectral indices based on the linear regression model, the first six orders of the highest accuracy spectral index were selected as the optimal three-band spectral index combination, used as explanatory variables, with mural plaster electrical conductivity as the response variable, employing the PLSR method to construct the mural phosphate content high-spectral feature inversion model. The study’s findings include: (1) Surfaces of samples deteriorated by phosphate erosion formed numerous irregularly shaped crystal clusters, exhibiting uneven characteristics. (2) By comparing the outcomes of different orders of fractional differentiation, it was found that the model performance reached its optimum at a 0.3 order of differentiation for both PSR and PNDI data, with a determination coefficient (Q2) of 0.728. (3) Utilizing PLSR, this study employed the previously determined optimal six-order three-band spectral index combination as explanatory variables, with salt content as the response variable, successfully constructing the high-spectral feature inversion model for mural electrical conductivity with a determination coefficient (Q2) of 0.815. This provides an effective technical means for monitoring the salt damage conditions of precious cultural heritage such as murals.

Quercus, commonly known as oak, has great potential as one of the most widely cultivated plant species. However, the lack of superior varieties is a bottleneck for its usage and application in Southwest China. Here, this study aims to explore the growth and photosynthetic traits of 18 oak varieties with the goal of identifying the adaptable superior varieties for the region, focusing on nutrient growth, leaf morphology, chlorophyll content, and photosynthetic parameters over a 32-week growth period. The results showed that a significant diversity was observed among the varieties. Growth rhythm and fitted curves divided the 18 oak varieties into three patterns. Additionally, for the leaf morphological parameters, Q. denta boasted the maximum leaf area (167.24 cm2), leaf width (13.62 cm), and leaf aspect ratio (156.6); Q. mongo showed the greatest leaf length (20.37 cm); while Q. acutis had the largest leaf form factor (3.44) and leaf gap (0.39). Chlorophyll content was based on three-time-points investigation, with higher levels observed in Q. mongo, Q. robur 4, Q. wutai, Q. denta, Q. acutis, and Q. robur 1. The transpiration rate (E) (5.03 mmol m−2), stomatal conductance (gsw) (0.22 mol m−2 s−1), and total water vapor conductance (gtw) (0.19 mol m−2 s−1) were dominantly obtained in Q. robur 1, while Q. denta exhibited the highest intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) (564.67 µmol mol−1). Conversely, Q. wutai displayed a significantly higher leaf chamber CO2 concentration (Ca) (502.11 µmol mol−1). Furthermore, growth traits showed a correlation with leaf morphological and photosynthetic traits. PCA analysis grouped the oak varieties into five clusters, with Q. acutis, Q. robur 1, Q. palus 3, Q. denta, Q. nutta, Q. mongo, and Q. wutai identified as superior varieties. These findings not only offer promising oak candidate varieties for Southwest China, but also provide insights for establishing efficient breeding program for other woody plants.
