Abstract
The temperature and spectral reflectance of the surfaces of intact Epipremunum Aureum leaves partially subjected to different intensities of ultraviolet (UV-B) irradiation as a function of time were investigated using a thermal video system and a spectrometer, respectively and compared with those for the cases of plant-upbringing irradiation. The results showed that the variations in the temperature and spectral reflectance for UV-B irradiation were different from those for case of plant-upbringing irradiation, and were depended on UV-B radiation intensity. Therefore, the temperature and spectral reflectance of the leaf surface suggested the possibility of applications in the prediction of the level of UV-B radiation.
