Why is remote sensing red on vegetation?

Remote sensing can detect vegetation in the red wavelengths because chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for photosynthesis in plants, absorbs light most efficiently in the red part of the spectrum. This absorption leads to a decrease in reflectance in the red band, making vegetation appear red in remote sensing imagery.


Why is forest vegetation important?

Vegetation provides a certain degree of shelter from weather conditions. Becomes the habitat of many animals such as bears and smaller animals like birds and squirrels. Vegetation also provides the basis of a food pyramid in an ecosystem as the herbivores are the ones to consume the vegetation, then carnivores after, and the decomposers that return the energy back into the ecosystem. Vegetation helps to maintain the balance in soil by using up the nitrogen and the other nutrients. As all creatures need air to survive, the vegetation uses carbon dioxide in the air to use the carbon and instead releases into the air, oxygen which people and many of the earth inhabitants need to survive. the roots of trees and other plants help keep the soil in place so that when it rains, the water won't wash away all the fertile soil in that part of the land. As people being to cut into the forests, more soil erosion occurs and strips away a whole lot of top soil. These are some reasons why vegetation is so important for an ecosystem.
