Application progress on hyperspectral remote sensing in grassland monitoring

The application of hyperspectral remote sensing in vegetation research was introduced and the related application progress was reviewed and evaluated in this paper. The application of hyperspectral remote sensing in grassland, including the biomass estimation, grassland type identification and chemical composition estimation, were reviewed as well. The development trend in this field was discussed. With the introduction and usage of new technologies, such as digital photography and GPS, the hyperspectral remote sensing will play more important role.
