Abstract
The non-Lambertian directional reflectance of a multilayer vegetative canopy is derived. Cause of the reflectance of the canopy is made traceable to the properties of the biological elements of the canopy. A new and possibly useful canopy property leading to the down sun "hot spot" is discussed.
