Abiotic ecosystem properties together with plant species interaction create differences in
structural and physiological traits among plant species. Certain plant traits cause a spatial …

Most plant species feature similar biochemical compositions and thus similar spectral
signals. Still, empirical evidence suggests that the spectral discrimination of species and …

Question Do spatial gradients of plant strategies correspond to patterns of plant traits
obtained from a physically based model and hyperspectral imagery? It has previously been …

The comparable and integrated nature of plant functional types and advances in high‐
spectral‐resolution remote sensing techniques (ie imaging spectroscopy) make their …

Plant functional traits play a key role in the assessment of ecosystem processes and
properties. Optical remote sensing is ascribed a high potential in capturing those traits and …

Statistical relations between the species composition of plant assemblages and canopy
reflectance are frequently employed in remote sensing for mapping vegetation at local …

Aims The three‐strategy (CSR) model proposed by G rime constitutes one of the most
established systems for plant functional types. The primary strategies (competitive ability …

Spectroscopy at the leaf and canopy scales has attracted considerable interest in plant
ecology over the past decades. Using reflectance spectra, ecologists can infer plant traits …

In a context of accelerated human-induced biodiversity loss, remote sensing (RS) is
emerging as a promising tool to map plant biodiversity from space. Proposed approaches …

Analyses of various biophysical and biochemical factors affecting plant canopy reflectance
have been carried out over the past few decades, yet the relative importance of these factors …
