Healthy vegetation is bright green; stressed or dying vegetation is yellow-brown in this false-color depiction.
(This RGB image shows reflected red light at 650 nm in red, reflected NIR at 850 nm in green, and thermal IR at 10.5 um in blue. The blue band has been inverted, so that the colder areas are brighter blue.)
