Study of spectral reflectance characteristic of selected mangrove species in Tumpat, Kelantan

Abstract

This study was conducted Kelantan Delta. Kelantan Delta located at north of peninsular Malaysia. The main objectives of this study are a preliminary study of form and characteristic of spectral reflectance of mangroves species. In this study five species had been selected from Kelantan delta. The species selected were Sonneratia caseolaris, Nypa Fruiticans, Aviciennia alba, Acanthus ilisifolius and Hibiscus tiliaceus. Species with the highest spectral reflectance is Hibiscus tiliaceus meanwhile Sonneratia caseolaris have the lowest spectral reflectance.
