From Leaf to Landscape: Interdisciplinary Remote Sensing in Plant Stress Science and Beyond
Understanding plant stress across spatial scales is crucial for advancing both ecological research and sustainable agriculture. In this talk, I will present an integrative approach to plant stress science, drawing on my previous work that leverages optical remote sensing technologies—from close-range sensors and drone-based platforms to satellite imagery—to detect and monitor biotic stress in plants. Looking ahead, my research will focus on unraveling plant stress responses, particularly structural and biochemical traits, at both local and landscape scales. I aim to develop a landscape epidemiology research line that bridges plant pathology, remote sensing, and spatial analysis. This interdisciplinary perspective, which was always a core focus in my research, will enable a deeper understanding of how plant stress propagates through ecosystems and inform strategies for monitoring, predicting, and mitigating plant health challenges in a changing world.
