Comparison in spectral reflectance of five mangroves species at Setiu Wetland and Kelantan Delta

Abstract

A study of camparison in spectral reflectance of mangroves species was carried out in Setiu Wetland and Kelantan Delta. Five species selected were Acrostichum speciosum, Ceriops decandra. Rhizophora apiculata Sonneratia caseoluris and Hibiscus tilaceus. The result showed that there were differencess in the spectral reflectance between young and old tree mangrove species in the visible region and in the near infrared region.
