A Case Study of Stressed Trees along the Paramount Boulevard
Los Angeles, U.S.A. Using the Spectral Reflectance Analysis
The case study covers 25 stressed trees (Ficus microcarpa) growing along a section of Paramount Boulevard, between Deerford Street and Greenmeadow Street in Lakewood City, Los Angeles, U.S.A. These trees, infected by Bot canker (Botryosphaeria canker) in recent years, were all removed in June 2019. We have undertaken a retrospective case study of these trees using WV-2 satellite data collected on 2010-04-07, 2012-04-28, 2016-05-24, 2018-04-11 and 2019-05-29.

Over the period from 2010 to 2019, among the 25 stressed trees under study, apart from Tree 13 which was continuously declining, others were fluctuating at different level. As Tree 1, 7, 8, 12, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 were highly fluctuating, the implication was deteriorating more seriously.
