Abstract
This study assessed the effects of hydrocarbon pollution on three tropical forest areas and developed hyperspectral indices suitable to detect those effects. Field spectroscopy data collected in the Amazon forest were used to estimate the biophysical and biochemical parameters of vegetation by applying the inversion process of the PROSPECT model. Using band combinations of the complete spectrum, contour maps of the coefficient of determination (R2) for foliar parameters were calculated, based on which, hyperspectral indices were derived. These indices were assessed against the medium resolution imaging spectrometer terrestrial chlorophyll index and applied to an Hyperion EO-1 hyperspectral satellite image.
