• Label: Water band index
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0020814
• Type: numeric
• Definition: A remote sensing [EnvThes:21762] index [NCIT:C25390] of whole plant [PO:0000003] water status, which is the ratio [PATO:0001470] of the reflectance [EnvThes:21580] of radiation [ENVO:01001023] off the plant canopy [ENVO:01001242] at 970 nm to the reflectance at 900 nm, recorded with a spectroradiometer [MOSAIC:00000974], where a higher value indicates a higher canopy water [CHEBI:15377] content.;Water band index measures whole plant water status. It is the ratio of the reflectance of radiation off the plant canopy at 970 nm to the reflectance at 900 nm; a higher value indicates a higher canopy water content.
• Additional comments: None
• units: {dimensionless}
