The physiological mechanism and ecological structure of forest trees can change with the changes of years.In a certain extent,the changes were expressed through the canopy spectral features.The mastery of changing rules about spectral characteristics of trees over the years is benefit to remote sensing interpretation and provide scientific basis for the classification of different trees.The study adopted high-resolution spectrometer to measure the canopy spectral characteristics for seven major deciduous trees and seven evergreen trees to gain the spectrum curve of four different ages and calculate the first derivative curve.The analysis of changing rules about spectral characteristics of different deciduous trees and evergreen trees and the comparison of changes about spectrum of various trees in the visible and infrared band could find the best year and best band for identification of trees.The results showed that the canopy spectral reflectance of deciduous and evergreen trees increases with the increase of age.And the spectral changes of two species were most obvious in the near infrared band.
