The paper examines the relationship between HyMap reflectance simulated from laboratory spectra obtained by an analytical spectra device (ASD) spectroradiometer in contact probe mode and the gravimetric moisture content of upland peat. Inverse stepwise regression models were developed to predict peat moisture for upland blanket peat of diverse physico-chemical properties. Their potential use to predict …
