Abstract
We derive a formula for the dependence of vegetation-canopy reflectance on terrain slope (visible light only). Reflectance is inversely proportional to the sum of cosine of incidence angle and cosine of exitance angle. Laboratory measurements of miniature forest canopies set up on inclined slopes compare well with predicted reflectances
