An overview of current and potential applications of thermal remote sensing in precision agriculture (2017, background): “In addition to the crop growth stage, it is important to understand how the stomatal response to the environment varies across crop species while using canopy temperature as a proxy for plant water status (Ballester et al., 2013).”
Thermographic measurement of canopy temperature is a useful tool for predicting water deficit effects on fruit weight in citrus trees (2013, methodology): “In commercial orchards, the use of some plants irrigated at full water requirements as a reference allows the calculation of the relative transpiration, which can be used to indicate the lev l of water stress reached by trees (Ballester et al. 2013a ; Fernández et al. 2007).”
