Abstract
The spectral polarization characteristics of the visible radiation reflected and scattered by a plant leaf were investigated. Measurements of the spectral brightness coefficient, the directed reflection coefficients, and the degree and azimuth of polarization of radiation reflected from a leaf were performed at different angles of incidence of radiation on the leaf and different angles of observation. More than 500 measurements were performed for 36 samples. Maple (Acer platanoides) leaves from different trees were used as objects of investigation. Peculiarities of the mechanism of formation of the flux of radiation reflected from a plant leaf have been revealed.
