Anthropogenic stress and disturbance of forest ecosystems (FES) has been increasing at all
scales from local to global. In rapidly changing environments, in-situ terrestrial FES …

Habitat loss and fragmentation result in significant landscape changes that ultimately affect
plant diversity and add uncertainty to how natural areas will respond to future global change …

Plant leaves collectively represent the largest above-ground surface area of plant material in
virtually all environments. Their optical properties determine where and how energy and gas …

Geodiversity has shaped and structured the Earth's surface at all spatio-temporal scales, not
only through long-term processes but also through medium-and short-term processes …

Hyperspectral remote sensing is increasingly being recognized as a powerful tool to map
ecosystem properties and functions through time and space. However, general information …

Responses of urban vegetation to air pollution stress in relation to their tolerance and
sensitivity have been extensively studied, however, studies related to air pollution responses …

There is an increasing consensus on the importance of understanding ecosystem service
(ES) provision in order to facilitate decision making and the sustainable management of …

Drought is considered the main abiotic stress because it influences the distribution of plant
species and limits the productivity of ecosystems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the …

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

Leaf mass per area (LMA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC) and leaf water content/equivalent
water thickness (EWT) are commonly used functional plant traits in ecology. Whereas …
